Barcelona star tipped for rare start vs Mallorca | OneFootball

An underutilised member of the midfield ranks at La Liga giants Barcelona could be in line for a rare starting berth in the club’s next outing.

This comes amid the understanding that Hansi Flick is giving serious consideration to affording a starting berth to Marc Casadó on Saturday.

Barcelona are of course primed to return to action tomorrow afternoon.

Fresh off booking their spot in the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey in midweek, the Blaugrana will shift focus back towards matters in the league, when they play host to RCD Mallorca at the Camp Nou.

Amid a busy stretch of fixtures at present, rotation is expected in the Barca XI for the matchup.

And as alluded to above, one player who looks set to benefit from as much is midfielder Marc Casadó.

Youngster Casadó, amid a difficult individual campaign to date, has been afforded just seven La Liga starts by Hansi Flick.

With Pedri and Gavi both remaining sidelined, though, according to Diario Sport, the 22-year-old is a serious option to feature from the off as Barcelona seek out another three-point haul against Mallorca.
