JAKARTA Barcelona coach, Xavi Hernandez, is most likely to rotate against the first match of the Champions League against Viktoria Plzen.

Rotation is done to keep the players fit in the face of the tight schedule of matches.

Marca reported that Xavi would rest several certain names in the match against Plzen. The two names that appeared were Eric Garcia and Ronald Araujo.

In addition to the two names above, Ousmane Dembele and Gavi will also get rest time. The reason is the same.

The absence of the four players will allow other players to perform. Although not yet revealed, from the list of registered players, teenage star Pablo Torre could be one option.

In addition, Barcelona also has several new players including Robert Lewandowski, Hector Bellerin, Andreas Christensen, Jules Kunde, Francks Kessie, Raphinha, and Marcos Alonso.

The match between Barcelona and Viktoria Plzen will be presented at Camp Nou on Thursday, September 8 in the morning WIB.
