Barcelona has been hit hard by injuries, but the Blaugrana side has been given a lifeline for what seems to be a decisive match this season.
Earlier this week, reports stated that Los Culés could have less than twelve first-team players available for the match against Real Madrid, but coach Quique Setién revealed that the team will have Jordi Alba around for the clash at the Bernabeu, despite only training with the club once.
"He's doing pretty well, our sensations with him are positive. But we only have to decide if he will start or not. He is confident about his chances, but I haven't decided yet," Setién said.
The former Betis coach left all the pressure to Real Madrid, mainly because they are two points behind them in the title race.
"This could be a key game for Real Madrid. They have more to lose in this game than us. It could also be decisive for them once the final whistle is blown. Even so, Real Madrid is always dangerous, especially at home, and they will be even more dangerous under the current circumstances," Setién added.
The former Las Palmas boss will try to win his third game against Zinedine Zidane. This will be his first Clásico with Los Blaugranas, and he will surely want to leave a lasting impression.
