On Tuesday evening (March 12th), FC Barcelona will host SSC Napoli at the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys, which remains the Catalans’ temporary home ground due to the renovation work at Camp Nou. The second leg of the round of 16 of the Champions League kicks off at 9 p.m. (LIVE! on kicker).
Staff shortages in the Catalans’ midfield
In the first leg, Naples and Barcelona played in a 1-1 draw in Italy. On the debut of new SSC head coach Francesco Calzona, striker Victor Osimhen secured a draw for the reigning Italian champions, who had been disappointing so far this season, after his Catalan counterpart Robert Lewandowski had previously given the visitors the lead.
This time’s hosts from Spain will have to do without two important regulars in midfield, as both Frenkie de Jong and Pedri will miss the second leg due to injuries. While the Dutchman suffered a severe sprain of the outer ligament in his right ankle in the cup game against Bilbao (0-0), his Spanish teammate will also only be a spectator in the coming weeks due to a thigh injury. This increases the personnel shortage in the midfield, where coach Xavi already has to plan without the long-term injured Gavi (torn cruciate ligament).
