We’re remaining cautious; nothing is certain until the official announcement about an hour before the match. We’ve seen enough of Luis Enrique’s ability to surprise the media, to whom he doesn’t give any clues. Above all, there’s an attempt to guess what he’ll choose amidst the daily competition, his analysis of the opponent, and each player’s physical fitness.
It’s particularly difficult after the international break and before the Champions League, which returns this Tuesday (against Bayer Leverkusen). There are also uncertainties regarding returns from injuries and the ability to start a match or not.
