Xavi Hernandez had to alter the starting lineup because it appeared that the Portuguese international player had sustained a small injury in the days leading up to this important game.
Xavi would undoubtedly suffer from Cancelo’s absence, especially given the team’s history of left-back ailments.
Because of Alejandro Balde’s ongoing health problems, Cancelo must step in for Xavi at left back. With both players expected to miss the Atletico match, Xavi should consider his options.
Barcelona also declared that Marcos Alonso had received the all-clear medically and that Cancelo would not be starting for the team.
Although Xavi is expected to be included in the team for the game against Atletico Madrid, it might be a good idea to consider his other options, given his limited playing time this season and his health concerns.
Sergi Roberto is the most likely candidate to successfully replace Cancelo at left back. Another player Coach Xavi would like to use is Hector Fort, but considering his inexperience against Atletico’s well-trained attacking line, this could be troublesome.
