Time for Barcelona to see what Moussa Wague and Junior Firpo are made of

With Nelson Semedo out for five weeks, Jordi Alba still struggling for fitness and Sergi Roberto banned for one game, a unique opportunity has opened up in both of the full-back positions.

How often do we keep saying that none of the perceived ‘reserve’ players ever get a chance to show what they can do, and here we are with two of them handed a chance to impress on a plate.

We’ve seen little of Moussa Wague these last few weeks, save for some contributions in training, whilst we’ve been led to believe that Ernesto Valverde doesn’t really fancy Junior Firpo, hence why Nelson Semedo has often been preferred as the covering left-back.
