Due To An Injury, A Crucial Player Will Not Go With Barcelona To Almeria.

Barcelona’s advantage at the top of La Liga might be reduced to five points by the time they play Almeria the following day if Real Madrid defeats Atletico Madrid on Saturday.

The team of Xavi Hernandez has been dominating at home and will go to Andalusia hoping to make it eight straight victories in the league. After Cadiz’s victory against Rayo Vallecano on Saturday, the hosts are still in the relegation zone, but Xavi does not underestimate their opponents.

After Gerard Romero’s confirmation that Ronald Araujo would miss the game due to injury, things are expected to become worse for Barcelona on Sunday.

Although being included in the Barcelona squad for the match against Almeria, the Uruguayan is expected to be missing after being replaced as a precaution against Manchester United due to pain in his kidnapper.

To replace Araujo, Xavi will have to decide between Eric Garcia and Marcos Alonso. The former performed well for Barcelona against Cadiz last weekend, and Alonso scored in his last start against Manchester United in the first leg.
