Ernesto Valverde may make rotations to keep his players fresh

Rafinha and Arda Turan are the only injury concerns at the moment

Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde has begun to prepare for the next game against Getafe, the fourth match in La Liga this season. After the wins against Espanyol and Juventus, Barça go into this game wary of slipping up. 

On Thursday, Valverde had Paco Alcacer back training with the group. However, Rafinha and Arda Turan remained sidelined and neither are likely to be involved this weekend. 

Valverde wants Barcelona to continue in the form they have showed in recent weeks and for that to happen he needs all his players in top condition. 

Therefore, it's not been ruled out that he will make changes this weekend. The former Athletic Club coach could give minutes to players who have not played as many games as others this season. 

Since losing the Super Cup to Real Madrid, the Blaugrana have won four games in a row without conceding a goal and are top of the La Liga table, level on points with Real Sociedad, who host Real Madrid on Sunday.
