Luis Enrique defends misfiring Munir, Sandro

The two attacking hopefuls failed to cover the hole left by Neymar, Messi and Luis Suarez during a midweek Copa del Rey draw, but their coach still believes they can deliver.

Luis Enrique has defended youngsters Munir El Haddadi and Sandro Ramirez ahead of Barcelona's trip to Getafe on Saturday.

With Lionel Messi sidelined by a knee injury, both 20-year-olds have seen plenty of game-time in recent weeks, but neither has managed to convince so far.

Munir has yet to find the net in 10 appearances in all competitions, while Sandro remains goalless after 12 outings.
