The victim with this decision of the technician FC Barcelona it would be the portuguese Joao Felix

Xavi Hernández is waiting for Frenkie de Jong’s return like May water. The Dutch midfielder is a key player in their plans and the Barcelona team has accused him of being out due to injury.

De Jong should start to get minutes after the league break. The first game in which he could be seen on the pitch is the visit to the Rayo Vallecano fiefdom next Saturday, November 25 at 2:00 p.m.

With Frenkie, Barça will recover its essence and according to information published by Diario AS, Xavi would be considering a return to the midfield, which has paid off well, but above all with the Dutchman in the team.

But there would be a victim in this situation. According to this information, it would be Joao Félix. The Portuguese was one of the standouts in the poor match, but with a comeback, against Alavés last day, although he lowered his performance in the second half.

Joao, from more to less

Frenkie de Jong would be accompanied in the midfield by three essential players in Xavi’s eleven such as Pedri, Gavi and Gündogan. All of them have more midfielder qualities than Joao Félix.

The Portuguese’s performance has clearly gone from more to less. He was the MVP in the defeats of Betis and Antwerp, both 5-0. But in the last few meetings he hasn’t quite found his place.

In any case, and as is happening to Pedri, Frenkie will not be one hundred percent from the first game after his return from his injury and will have to be progressive. But his importance is key in this team. His absence has been excessively noticeable.
