The club has not suffered from FIFA virus but the injuries before the international break that will force Valverde to make a new formation on the defence. 

Nelson Semedo and Jordi Alba will not be available against Leganés, while Sergi Roberto, will not travel to Leganés because he is suspended. 

Semedo is hardly to reach the El Classico on December 18th. The right-back suffered a muscle injury of the left leg against Celta. In the previous game, against Slavia at Camp Nou , Alba relapsed from his left biceps injury. 

Without Sergi Roberto as a wild card, Wague will have the chance to fill the position. And Do not forget that Piqué is punished with a one-match ban in the Champions League.

In defence, there has been much hustle and bustle since the beginning of the season. For the injuries, for the suspension of Piqué and Lenglet and for the change of role of some players, such as Sergi Roberto himself, who was destined to the midfielder but who has acted as a right-back, moving Semedo to the left side when It has been necessary.

All players have had their time to play, with the exception of Wague. Valverde has tested seven different defenses, although only one(Semedo, Piqué, Lenglet and Alba ) has used it eight times.
