Barça coach Valverde reveals what Deulofeu needs to do to be a regular
Deulofeu has been left out of the squad for Celta game
Valverde says it's because he has a big squad
Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde referred to Gerard Deulofeu's situation on Friday, with the forward left out of the squad for the game against Celta Vigo this weekend.
"He's not in the squad for Saturday because other people are there," Valverde explained. "We have a big squad. Sometimes I pick some players, other times I pick others.
"There have been a lot of questions about him recently... He fights, he tries to make the difference in attack. He did that against Murcia and he has done that before. There's another game next week and I am sure he will get chances."
Valverde was then asked what Deulofeu needs to do to become a regular in his Barça side.
"Like everyone else, he needs to be effective, score goals, contribute to the defence and to be a regular he needs to be picked by coach, so he needs my favour. He has that, but I have so many players to pick and choose from," he added."
