Busquets still not training and is serious doubt against Kiev

Koeman still cannot count on Busquets. The Barcelona midfielder, who was injured in his international duties with the Spanish national team, has already missed the league match against Atleti and is still out. He did not train this Sunday, according to 'AS', and is likely to be out against Dinamo Kiev.

This will take place on Tuesday 24th. It would only come in case he recovers quickly and his coach chooses to play him to give him a place in the squad. He could be liable to relapse or low performance due to the injury, something that the team can not afford, especially after falling against Atletico.

Busquets is out with a sprained knee. Although he was close to being sold off by Koeman after taking charge of the team, he was saved and, up to now, has enjoyed quite a lot of importance.

With him out of the squad, Koeman has been turning to De Jong and Pjanic for midfield with Coutinho or Pedri a little later. This is how he planned his squad for the European fixtures against Feréncvaros and Juventus, so he is likely to repeat the template.
