Denis Suarez will dress up as Andres Iniesta again

Denis Suarez will dress up as Andres Iniesta again

The Barcelona captain's injury means he must be replaced and the man to do it may well be young Denis

Luis Enrique will reach to the back of his wardrobe against Granada after various injuries, including one to captain Andres Iniesta. Against Espanyol in the Catalan Super Cup Denis Suarez played the Iniesta position and it would be nothing strange if he does so again against Granada. 

Denis is the natural player to put in for Iniesta, but there are other possibilities. One is Andre Gomes, although Luis Enrique hasn't been best pleased by the appearances of the Portuguese in this position. He is more likely to be used in the Busquets role if Lucho decides to give the pivot rest. 

Arda Turan has suffered an injury although hasn't been ruled out for the game, while Rafinha is also an option. Three days after receiving Granada Barcelona head to the Etihad to face Man City in the Champions League. That is another factor for the coach to keep in mind.
