The Mexican footballer, who was yesterday and will be operated four-week low, will not accept any assignment

Giovani dos Santos passed yesterday by the operating theatre to settle an issue that existed not only since the start of the season, but since his career as a cadet. "This left ankle," explained the doctor Ricard Pruna, "it had generated from small inconvenience but allowed him to keep playing."

Until decided operated. A moment that came in yesterday Hospital Barcelona at the hands of Dr Antoni Dalmau. Now, the Aztec soccer player must be four-week low: "During the first two player followed by a postoperative process to verify that there are no setbacks. From the third week, beginning a recovery simple. Once completed, and the player could return to their normal activities, "said Pruna. Doctors clarified that "the intervention that has been practised today is not related" to injury he suffered in the match of Copa del Rey before the Alcoyano. Because of these inconveniences, the player has received throughout the season infiltration of local anti-inflammatory. Doctors also clarified that they have nothing to do with the infiltration which has been subjected to Yaya Toure, since, if any, were much more complex in nature and almost before surgery.

Giovani, before undergoing the operation, wanted to clarify to the media has no intention to leave the club at least transferred. The Mexican footballer is very clear that "if I have to go, it will be crossed." The striker, which debuted in the league with a hat-trick before the Murcia, is not open to negotiate any kind of assignment: "If I leave, will be forever. It was just a cycle and not come back. " However, Dos Santos said that his itnención is to keep playing inthe Camp Nou: "I would like to continue, but I do not want to be a nuisance." It is also convendido that can be a player IMPORTANT. Therefore, he explained that "I do not know what the future will be. I want to succeed anywhere. "

Etoo y Giovani appear only in a fixed front of circumstances.

The consequences of the party on Wednesday to lead Schalke 04 that Frank Rijkaard have to think about a new solution for the line of attack at the meeting tonight in the New Colombino. Bojan, Henry joined yesterday Iniesta in the casualty list, and the technician keeps very few rounds to face a game in which the team plays the few options remain alive in the League.

Samuel Etooy Giovani dos Santos are the only two tips that came in the call that seem to enjoy a permanent position. The Cameroonian is the pichichi team in the championship with 12 goals, while the Mexican has enjoyed minutes in the second part in recent meetings once left behind their discomfort. Your continued participation virtually guarantees them ownership and great doubt lies in knowing who will be the third man to accompany them, as long as Rijkaard maintain its usual pattern of 4-3-3. Ezquerro, Gudjohnsen and young Victor Vazquez are the candidates.

The Dutch coach who is accustomed to respect the hierarchy within the apparel and this would give more options to Santi Ezquerro, especially taking into account that Gudjohnsen is playing this season in the middle of the field. The Riojan only participated in a party garter belts, to Espanyol in Montjuïc in the disputed 19 minutes, and in another European Champions League versus Alcoyano in marking the two goals of the team. A pubalgia he departed several weeks of training, but now fully recovered while waiting for his opportunity. Ezquerro holder is not in the League since February 4, 2007 when the disputed 90 minutes in the Kingdom of Navarro before Osasuna (0-0). Since then they have spent 14 long months in which his contribution has been only witness.

The second alternative would be to put Eidur Gudjohnsen on end. The Icelandic striker played for in his first season at Barça, supplying the injured Samuel Etoo during recovery time from his serious knee injury. However, Rijkaard has opted for him this year as mid - and it seems difficult converted, valuing that Andres Iniesta is low and requires a player to accompany Xavi and Toure. Another alternative would be the most innovative advance of the Ivorian inside, it would Edmílson Marquez or the pivot and then Guddy that it could act in front.

The third way would be to give an opportunity to finally Victor Vazquez. The front subsidiary has much more pace of competition that Ezquerro and his presence would be the least that would move pieces because Gudjohsen could act without problems in the spinal cord. The young player, co-generation Leo Messi, noted for its versatility and technical quality. It can operate in any of the three positions attack-although the center is where most outstanding and is easily to see goal.

Victor Vazquez came for the fourth time in a call, but in the three previous not had the opportunity to jump into the field of play. His fellow subsidiary Victor Sanchez and Pedrito have had better luck and have already been released in official competition with the shirt blaugrana.

In any event, Frank Rijkaard must solve the ballot with a front unpublished. Though the League seems impossible mission, the team could not afford to let escape three additional points as the Villarreal currently occupies the second position for best scoring average, and could re-open gap with a victory in Spain.

The Aztec drag a fracture in the left foot, but the club considered hasty passing through the operating room

The saying a disservice dog fleas are all seems to fit perfectly into Barça. After the serious injury Messi appeared that the Mexican Giovani Dos Santos again have many options to fill the right band for the attack. Well, this possibility is about to dissolve sugar because as a young player without a fracture displacement drag on her left foot that could force him to go through the operating room. It seems that the Mexico has been almost three months-infiltrating injured last January 2 in a Cup match, but medical services are still considering this treatment as the most appropriate. However, the player is pushing for him to operate immediately. In this case the time would drop about six weeks. If in the end it confirms a real pity because it was learned yesterday which has been convened by Hugo Sanchez for the friendly with Mexico-Ghana Marquez.

Another bad news for Rijkaard is declining Deco for the next game, because "it has become apparent that there is still a risk of injury at the interface of the twin sóleo in his right leg," according to read the medical part. Thus, the Portuguese will not be in Almeria, especially considering that four days after the Barcelona faces one of the most important of the season in Valencia, as it plays the pass to the finals of the Champions League. Yesterday was brought not with the group and was working alone at the Camp Nou next to coach physical Josep Anton Pozanco. Anyone who either trained yesterday with the group nor will be in Almeria will be the Ivorian Yaya Toure, who after being infiltrated last Tuesday of his herniated disc, will front a few days rest in order to arrive in the best possible conditions to match returning from the Cup semifinals. Another is the absence confirmed Rafa Marquez, who still train with the group because of a swelling on the right foot bone, which has left nearly a month in dry dock. Another low over to Almeria, but on this occasion it is not due to injury but because of sanctions, is the Italian Gianluca Zambrotta, with the yellow faced the Villarreal saw completed the cycle of the five tarjetas.Para height, Ronnie was not trained yesterday discomfort in the right adductor and Sylvinho withdrew earlier by a small indisposition.

Hugo Sanchez intends to take in the Preolímpico March, but the player knows that the season will be seething azulgrana

It will be an important decision. Giovani Dos Santos must weigh between playing with Barça the final stretch of this season or move preolímpico of CONCACAF that Mexico must play by the middle of next March. The young striker is in a encucijada but does not hide his desire would be with men Frank Rijkaard on dates that can be positively keys to finalize the season in Spain. Their progress in the first team has the wind in its sails and move away from the discipline azulgrana at a conference as important would be very inappropriate.

The tournament will be held from 11 to 16 March in the United States, specifically in Tampa (Florida), Carson (California) and the finals in Nashville (Tennessee). The player should concentrate with their selection few days before it is lost several parties Champions League, League and Champions League depending on when he would like to Hugo Sanchez.

The Mexican has been screening these days in Madrid and is expected to come to Barcelona to try to negotiate its incorporation, but the player remains on the lookout. "The Federation wants it to go but it will be complicated by the timing. I spoke with Hugo Sanchez and would like to be with them but we all know that these dates will be very important to be Barça because they may decide many things. This is the last leg and that will help the team as it is, "says the young man crack.

The Barça have supported that qualifying is not dated by FIFA which is not required to relinquish his footballer if you do not want. What we also want the entity is Catalan clash with the Mexican National team in order to achieve future agreements.

They are the present and future of Barça. The Mexican and the Linyola represent the new batch of players who look forward to the fans culés

In Bojan and Giovani they had fulfilled the wish that this year called on the night of December 31, 2006. Although it was expected a few months, finally became reality in mid-year. Both recall the 2007 as the year in which they became the first professional football team Barça , which came looking for many years since football basis. In January still playing with the Barça B , then coached by Quique Costas , but with the start of the new season, Rijkaard called up .


They have seized their chance and they are hoping to make history with a team that has lived a year to forget at the collective level, but that with these two players, the future is assured. Bojan and Giovani are large and, with them, will grow Barça.

The two have wanted to wish a happy new year 2008 to all readers SPORT, with those who expect to hold as many titles as possible. Despite the fact that the year ended with a defeat to Real Madrid , both are convinced that the team has the capacity to reverse the situation and cut the League in the seven-point difference separating them white Team. In addition, they expect to go ahead in the Champions League, which measured the Celtic Glasgow in the second round, and in the Copa del Rey , which is the first tournament of the year with the second leg of sixteenth before the Alcoyano this Wednesday at 18.00 hours at the Camp Nou. The front Linyola does while playing in the Youth Division of Honor. Indeed, in November 2005 was when I went to Barça B, which did not comply or a season before taking the leap into the Camp Nou. But the speed of burning stages Bojan is vertigo. S iempre has played with older players and he has also shown that it has room in the first template.

The future is theirs. In an era in which fans reflect on whether it had finished a cycle or even computer for a while there, which everybody agrees is that there are players to be quiet. Bojan is only 17 years, while Giovani has 18 , an age at which most players active in youth category, while they already codean with the best athlete on the planet. His precocity has caught by surprise more than one, but it has been blessed by all.

The 2008 should be the year of two players to the responsibility that weighs them not because they are accustomed to being leaders of the teams who have played. Bojan carries a lifetime pulling the cart in football basis . In all categories for which has risen since he came to 9 years has marked decisive goals, which give parties, matches and titles. Now into the first team, and despite the fact that responsibility for the moment, the other must take the Linyola gaining weight gradually and not wasted even one second that he da Frank Rijkaard . Every time he enters the field lía, leaving details available for cracks.

The same happens with Giovani . The Mexican started the season playing many minutes and was alternating with Bojan as one of the first parts in the latter parts. His progression was cut because of the ankle injury he suffered in El Collao, who kept several weeks in dry dock. Giovani was prepared to return to power and did so. Before the Stuttgart in the Champions , scored his first goal with the official jersey blaugrana. In Mestalla was one of the architects of the great victory by 0-3 giving great assistance to Gudjohnsen to close the scoreboard and enjoyed his first classic before the Madrid in which the goal was an equalizer in their boots with an auction touched Pepe and left out by a whisker.

Bojan and Giovani are going to be more and the fresh air, along with Messi and Iniesta , which lifted the morale of culés in some Christmas bitter defeat versus whites . His progression leads us to think that in 2008 can give many joys and be players of the year. Since it joined the first team on the stage of Scotland have not stopped giving giant steps. In just half a year have earned the admiration of fans and respect of his colleagues and opponents. Nobody takes Bojan and Giovani as two simple youth to start their careers, but two major players already Indeed a gap between the best.
