JAKARTA - Barcelona will meet Manchester United (MU) in the 2022/2023 Europa League play-offs. Both teams have to elbow each other to get tickets to the round of 16.
In a two-legged format, Barcelona will first host the match at the Camp Nou Stadium on Friday, February 17. After that, Xavi Hernandez's team will visit Old Trafford Stadium on February 24.
Ahead of this match, the two teams both have concerns about the condition of the players. MU has even been confirmed to appear without Christian Eriksen and Donny Van de
While Anthony Martial and Scott McTominay are still in doubt.
Meanwhile, quoted from the Sport Bible, Barca's condition is no less pathetic. They are threatened with appearing without Ousmane Dembele's presence after the player looks in pain in the match versus Girona.
The Spanish giant also received bad news about the condition of veteran midfielder, Sergio Busquets. The player who used to be theUNt of the team is claimed to be able to miss the match against the Red Devils.
This was because Busquets suffered an injury after his leg sprained while defending his team against Sevilla last weekend. His position at the time was replaced by Franck Kessie.
"Following the clash with the Sevilla En-Nesyri striker. Busquets must exit early from the match. Conditions will continue to be monitored," the club said in a statement.
Even though he is 34 years old, Busquets is still trusted as the mainstay of the Blaugrana in midfield. It is evident from the opportunity given by the coach to him who has made 27 appearances this season.
The absence of Busquets will be felt more or less when challenging the onslaught of Erik ten Hag's team.
However, Barcelona still has other options. One of them is playing former AC Milan star, Franck Kessie.
Moreover, he was able to show classes when given the opportunity. He became the creator for Barcelona's opener in Los Cules' 3-0 win over Sevilla.
