Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez has reportedly been testing out the possibility of using Eric Garcia as a pivot once again.
It was reported a while back that Eric had been playing in the position in training, but Xavi quickly shot those rumors down at a press conference.
However, they are back again ahead of Sunday’s trip to Elche. Relevo reckon Xavi has been trialling Eric in midfield again and has been impressed by his performances.
The thinking is that the defender could ultimately change position, particularly as he’s really struggling for game time at the back.
