Claudio Giráldez Makes Major Changes Ahead of Key Match

Barcelona, Spain – Claudio Giráldez has announced significant changes to his team ahead of their upcoming match against Espanyol on Sunday. The coach has made 10 alterations, retaining only Fran Beltrán as a starter from the previous encounter.

Among the players returning to the starting XI are Carlos Domínguez, Hugo Álvarez, and Swedberg, all of whom have recovered from injuries. Jutglá will take the lead as the primary striker, marking his return to Sant Andreu, the ground where he began his senior career.

The proposed starting lineup includes Iván Villar in goal, Aidoo, Carlos Domínguez, and Ristic forming the back three. Giráldez is likely to implement a 3-4-3 formation, with Mingueza and Cervi acting as wing-backs. In the midfield, Beltrán and Hugo Sotelo will play key roles, while Álvarez, Swedberg, and Jutglá will lead the attack.

However, the final formation may vary. Álvarez could also play as a wing-back, with Cervi pushed forward, or the team might opt for a 4-3-3 setup with Mingueza and Ristic as wide players.

The match promises to be an exciting encounter as the team looks to build momentum with these strategic changes.
