Alejandro Balde could be handed a major opportunity when Barcelona return to action against Getafe on October 10, with the left-back currently among the players training at Barça while many internationals are still away.
The 22-year-old has endured a difficult period after losing his regular starting spot, but he now has the perfect chance to remind Hansi Flick exactly what he can bring. His explosiveness, pace and ability to drive forward from left-back could give Barcelona another attacking dimension. ⚡
With Barcelona facing a packed schedule after the international break, rotation will also be important. The Getafe game could therefore be the moment Balde gets his opportunity to make a statement.
And if he delivers? 👀
The competition for the left-back position could suddenly become very interesting.
Balde is waiting. The chance may finally be coming. 🔥🔵🔴
