No Balde or Koundé: Barcelona’s predicted defence to face Inter Milan | OneFootball

An insight into the plans of the coaching staff at La Liga giants Barcelona when it comes to the club’s defensive setup to face Inter Milan has on Sunday been provided.

This comes with two leading members of the Blaugrana’s backline set to miss out at San Siro.

Barcelona are of course primed to return to action on Tuesday night.

Shifting focus back towards matters on the continent, Hansi Flick’s troops will make the trip to Milan, for the return leg of a Champions League semi-final tie against Italian champions Inter.

In efforts to keep alive their pursuit of a historic treble, though, Barca will be forced to make do without two key defensive stars.

With Jules Koundé already ruled out through injury, Alejandro Balde – initially tipped to return from a spell on the sidelines at San Siro – is also set to miss out.

As much leaves Hansi Flick and his staff with some major decisions to make at full-back.

And as alluded to above, on Sunday, an insight into the current plans of the German tactician has come to the fore online.

The info comes courtesy Barcelona insider Javier Miguel of Diario AS, who points towards the Blaugrana’s backline against Inter as being likely to featured four central defenders, as follows:

Eric García – Ronald Araújo – Pau Cubarsí – Iñigo Martínez
