    So why isn't ours postponed as well?

    Our guys might be available. It will be tight, but I suspect they will play.

    They play Thursday evening South American time. We play Sunday afternoon. They can make it.

    In any case, we may see Camavinga earlier than expected.

    Different covid restrictions in the region.

    Blame it on Madrid's wishy washy covid protocols.

    Their games were set for Saturday morning whereas ours is Sunday evening. They also can’t back it up to Sunday for them since they play Tuesday in the Champions and we play Wednesday. Their players wouldn’t make it in time whereas ours might.

    I think they also have stricter rules. Madrid seems to be pretty relaxed when it comes to quarantine rules. Catalonia, as far as I know still treats certain countries as a "red zone" like Germany does. They even have a regulation on smoking, and the minimal distance required to smoke in public

    I'm sure the entire season will have a flexible schedule. I remember people complained about it last season as well and at the end we averaged more rest days than Barca.

    Would have all of them on the bench. Not risking them this early in the season. That flight is horrendous; no recovery time.

    Perhaps that suspension of the Brazil Argentina match was a blessing in disguise. I definitely agree when it comes to Valverde. However, I think Vinicius and/or Militao might be able to handle it. I doubt Vini will play much in the final game as he only saw a half of action in the first match of the window and wasn’t set to start against Argentina.

    That doesn't necessarily answer my question.

    Will barca be missing 20 players and not able to field a starting 11?

    Would like to see him develop his long range game a bit, because I think that would take him to the next level. Good player to have, hopefully he continues to show the same progress that he has shown over his youth career.

    If they have to quarantine due to travel restrictions, yes.

    So you're telling me most of their players were away with COMEBOL for international break?

    Anybody have the exact amount of players?

    Do you realize that they play on Tuesday already and if they pushed their game to Sunday they'd effectively be playing two matches with 48 hours in between?

    This victim hood is really miserable. There's going to be a week where the schedule will flip to our favor and they'll be complaining, I can guarantee you that.

    Super excited for this kid. The 50M release clause for an 18 year old shows how much the club values him as well.

    Okay... You didn't answer the question.

    How many players are barca going to have out due to COMEBOL international break?

    We're going to be missing four starters so I am simply wondering how many missing players it takes to require La Liga to step in and postpone an entire match.

    That would have been an interesting discussion if the match would have been specifically been postponed for that reason.

    So what other reasons was the match postponed?

    Also, still waiting for the total amount of players barca lost to COMEBOL...

    As multiple people now have already told you. Barcelona play vs Bayern on Tuesday. ALL players, including ours opted against playing 2 matches in 48 hours, so the match couldn't have been pushed back (ours was).

    Do you suggest they do a Sunday - Tuesday schedule? I don't know.

    Villareal - Alaves was postponed for the same reason.

    Is this the highly regarded attacking midfielder or am I mistaking him for someone else?

    Somebody already wrote positively about Bruno Iglesias few weeks ago. What should we know about the kid?
