Eusebio Sacristán will not be able to field Gerard Deulofeu against Girona in Barça B’s upcoming Liga match on Saturday (18:00).

Therefore the Catalan will be added to the list of unavailable players along with Tello and Montoya, with the first team, and Ilie and Miño, both of whom are injured. Kiko Femenía is also injured.

The team completed their final training session this Friday before they play the Catalan derby against Girona. The match will be played at the Montilivi Municipal Stadium. For this match, Eusebio will be able to use Bartra and Muniesa, who have returned to training with the reserve side after a short stint with the first team.

Sacristán explained what type of game he anticipates when his men take on Girona tomorrow: “they will be motivated, especially because of their position in the table.” It’s worth mentioning that Girona is currently sitting in the 12th spot of the Liga Adelante and with six points they can secure their spot in the league. “They’ve played at a good level in their past couple of games, including a victory against the leaders Deportivo,” who they beat 1-0 two weeks ago. “It would be a good birthday present to win on Saturday,” concluded Sacristán, who turns 48 this Friday.

Deulofeu Comes of Age in 'family' Gerard met this week 18 years and the team celebrated with a dinner at the Port Olimpic.

It is the smallest of the wardrobe, with permission from newcomer Dongou, and his majority was an event that deserves a special celebration. Gerard Deulofeu mates decided to hold a team dinner, including the presence of the coaching staff on Tuesday in the Olympic Port of Barcelona building's birthday 'Deulo'. The Blaugrana are gathered around a table and plotted in order to clench my teeth in the last third of the season.

The heat and the jokes of his companions served Deulofeu to forget the annoyance of having suspended the theoretical driving license, although re-examined next week. The Riudarenes wants to stop being the only member with information about the subsidiary that still can not get behind the wheel.

Gerard must be confirmed to exhibit his speed on the pitch. The forward has taken hold in the team and is the main point of reference in the attack. The squad has seven consecutive games as a starter and more and feel more comfortable. In total, Deulofeu has jumped 16 times this season in the starting line and ten others logged alternate. The young Blaugrana have scored five goals in his first season in the reserves.

Besides enshrined in the subsidiary, Deulofeu he debuted under orders from Guardiola in La Liga against Mallorca and the Champions League against BATE. (via SPORT)

Gerard Deulofeu, one of the most promising of the cantera Barça meet Tuesday 18 at full consolidation in the subsidiary and azulgrana eye on a future in the first team.

Riudarenes acid in the March 13, 1994, Gerard Deulofeu can be assumed, at 18, had shone on their way through the baby, infantil, cadet and juvenil of Barça and, as expected, the subsidiary azulgrana that came last season.

Since its debut, with the help of Luis Enrique in the Barça B-Córdoba (4-1), until this last weekend before the Sabadell, one can say that the young player's performance has been very positive. There have been 27 games played, 16 of them starts, which has scored five goals already.

These figures speak highly of Deulofeu. A skilled player, even though it operates on the left-and noted for its speed and ease to overflow in one on one. A verticality that is slowly adding the only feature of the game that lacked the ability to score goals.

Realizing its potential, Pep Guardiola has closely followed its evolution. I called last year in the move to Anoeta-although he did not debut- this year, and gave him his first minutes in the league against Mallorca and in Champions League against BATE Borisov. After that game, the coach acknowledged that Deulofeu has a great future ahead if he kept working and improving on the subsidiary. "His place now is the subsidiary because it needs time to grow, but young people know that if you have to take down, the we will take."

A message that, given the cases of Cuenca and Tello, should provide an incentive for the young player of La Masia. His name is marked in red on the future of the club, but getting to the top of it just depends. Is in his hands. (via SPORT)

Deulofeu was 'stung' to be replaced last week and Eusebio spoke clear: The whole potential that has the he has to accompany of other facets. It should be humbler. he is young and is discovering the professional football. Up to now it has been him very comfortable to highlight but today complete players are required and he is working in it". (via MD)
