Copa del Rey: Malcom’s Time to Prove Himself

Malcom has not played much this season, to say the least. The winger was Barcelona’s most expensive transfer in this past summer, but he’s only logged 25 minutes in La Liga so far, even with Lionel Messi’s injury.

With even Ousmane Dembélé struggling for playing time, how does his understudy fit into Ernesto Valverde’s system?

The Brazilian will get a good chance to make his case as he’s expected to start tomorrow against Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa in the Copa del Rey.

The third-tier side are not expected to be a huge challenge but the winger should make sure he’s at his best as he makes the case to Valverde that he deserves more minutes.
