Luis Enrique may make a surprise call-up for Valencia game

The Blaugrana coach will be missing Jordi Alba and Gerard Pique so he may turn to a surprise figure

Luis Enrique will have problems filling his squad at the weekend against Valencia. The many injury problems his team are suffering will oblige the coach to dig deep. It is a good opportunity for him to reward the good work that Marlon has been doing. 

Luis Enrique is happy with the Brazilian's adaptation process. The coach has called him up to exercise with the first team on numerous occasions. The speed and forcefulness of the player have captivated Lucho, who has already told the people around him of the need to watch the defender's evolution carefully. 

With Gerard Pique and Jordi Alba out injured and Aleix Vidal ostracised, Luis Enrique is short of measures for the bench. Marlon trained on Thursday with the first team and could be in the squad for the game at Mestalla. It would be a surprise, sure, but every day he seems closer and closer to the team.
