is he obliged to anounce his list by now, because I see it a bit strange move from Pep,
Poyol is out.. so I assume Sylvinho is going to take on the LB again! or he's going to give Caceres a chance on that spot?
given that Sporting will be playing at home this is not going to be an easy game for our defence anyhow.
The announcement is indeed strangely soon, Waleed.
The only reason I can think of is that there's no training in Barcelona tomorrow (in the morning they fly to Lisbon) and so no after-training press conference. Guess this was the last opportunity for him to give the list to the press in Barcelona (although it can be perfectly done through the website).
If we lose this game we might lose the first place too and that means more difficult opponent in the next stage so we have to be extra careful...
caceres, marquez, messi should play so they can secure the first spot.
Caceres and Marquez will start the defense, Im sure of it, and Messi will get the last 15 minutes .. Busquets will start too .. he has started in ages.
