BARCELONA, España (AP) — El entrenador del Barcelona Xavi Hernández está escondiendo sus cartas previo al primer “clásico” de la temporada.
El campeón defensor ha estado jugando sin su líder anotador Robert Lewandowksi y otros titulares regulares como Frenkie de Jong, Pedri González y Jules Koundé durante el mes pasado a causa de lesiones. Todos ellos regresaron a entrenar el viernes, un día antes de que llegue el Madrid con un punto de ventaja en la tabla de posiciones de La Liga de España.
El técnico del Madrid Carlo Ancelotti dijo no estar preocupado por quien jugará con Barcelona mientras Jude Bellingham esté listo. Bellingham le dio un susto al entrenador al final de la victoria contra Braga en la Liga de Campeones esta semana cuando sintió dolores musculares en una pierna. Pero Ancelotti dijo el viernes que estaba listo para jugar.
