Sadly, Barcelona full-back Aleix Vidal will be out for the remainder of the season. A shame as he was getting into peak form before he suffered this ill-timed injury.
Sergi Roberto will likely be the starting right-back, but he will still need to be rested from time to time, and he’s suspended for the Copa del Rey final. Plus, God forbid he gets injured...
Barcelona need to plan for this, so here are their options among players already in the squad:
Javier Mascherano
Status: Center-back and occasional defensive midfielder
Strengths: Positioning, tackling, somewhat familiar with RB position, right-footed.
