yeah thats true but i would rest them for the CL specially toure sense xavi is out

Ibrahimovic, according to sport, had problems with his right ankle during training and so is a doubt for the Stuttgart match as well.

However Xavi and Alves will travel to Stuttgart in spite of not having been given the medical all-clear, as will ibra.

I guess Pep will play Milito-Pique which is a better comination than Marquez-Pique? I don't know, good question...

Xavi Alves back good new but not giving ok to play but they still going to stuttgart

 

[Barcaman]

With Marquez and Milito in good form hopefully we won´t need to rush Alves back. Same goes for Xavi. Busquets-Toure combo looked very good vs. Racing.

yeah true prolly a late sub

Just read that Dani and Zlatan trained normally with the rest of the group but Xavi was still feeling some discomfort and would most likely watch the game from the stands.

Officially, Dani hasn't been given the medical 'all clear' but it looks promising. *fingers crossed*

Elmundo Deportivo is saying that Zlatan will play but still uncertain about Dani and Xavi......

 

[Galning]

Pretty obvious that Zlatan was going to play, I bet he wasn't even seriously injured.

Don't want to rush Xavi and Dani though.

I wondered at his injury before the Racing game and thought perhaps it was an excuse to just rest him and give Thierry and opportunity to play. Especially since Thierry was the topic of choice in the media at the time, it would remedy a couple of situations to play him and rest Ibra.

Apparently there was some swelling because it was mentioned in an article that he had to change out of the new "traveling uniform" shoes and wasn't allowed to tie them. Also they poked fun at Messi for not bothering to tie his. lol

This just goes to show I spend way too much time speculating and reading about Barca. And on that note, I better be off before I'm late for work!

 

[Barcaman]

Pique suspended for our next match?

 

[Valon]

Hmm might be. Someone said he won't play against Almeria so it might be that's why he said so.

 

[roll]

100 % suspended If not, blame transfermarkt

But at least he won`t miss Valencia...
