Barcelona got bad news last night after two main players Frankie de Jong and Pedri have out on first half match against Athletic Bilbao after serious injured when potential will absent for the second leg match in Champion League against Napoli. Its very bad news because Barcelona position not comfort yet with the first leg match is draw and I don't think who will be compete for replacing both midfielder crucial position for Barcelona.
Left one week later before facing Napoli but I don't sure between Pedri and Frenkie de Jong will get faster recovery from injury, Xavi Hernandez must looking other alternatives for replacing both of them position and can perform well. Upcoming match in domestic league against Real Sociedad, Xavi must take care their players without injury yet or losing opportunity for defeating Napoli.
This is really bad news for Barcelona because the injuries to these players occurred a few days before the important match against Napoli was held, and actually Barcelona on paper is more favored in the second match against Napoli, but this bad news will put them in a doubtful position.
Barcelona only needs to win by a margin of one goal in order to advance to the quarter-finals but this condition is very likely to weigh on their progress later, especially as Napoli seems to be in improving condition in several matches in Serie A which will make them even more motivated to be able to beat Barcelona at the Nou Camp in the middle this week.
Xavi Hernandez has to think hard to be able to bring Barcelona to win this match even without the presence of several key players due to injury, and I predict they will still be able to beat Napoli even though it has to be done with great difficulty.
