Gerard Pique out for clash with Iniesta's Vissel Kobe
The Catalan has a minor problem which will stop him from participating
Ernesto Valverde said that Gerard Pique cannot feature against Andres Iniesta's Vissel Kobe because of a minor adductor injury in his left leg. "Nothing serious, it's only a precaution," said the Barca coach in a press conference.
Valverde has three centre-backs he can use, Samuel Umtiti and Clement Lenglet - both left footed - and Jean Clair Todibo. What we know is that both centre-backs will be French.
The coach also said that Hiroki Abe will find it tough to play too because he is still feeling a knock.
