Barcelona Coach Faces Dilemma

Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez is facing a dilemma just 24 hours before the clash against Girona in the 16th round of La Liga. According to the Spanish newspaper "Sport," Xavi is monitoring the condition of Marcos Alonso, who has been suffering from back pain for several days, and there is a possibility he may miss the Girona match. It was noted that if Alonso’s absence is confirmed, Xavi will have to change his strategy against Girona. The report indicated that Barcelona has only three players who can play as central defenders (Jules Koundé, Ronald Araújo, and Andreas Christensen), as Xavi intended to use this trio as starters, with one deployed in the right-back position.
