It’s an absence that did not go unnoticed this Friday. Despite Nuno Mendes’ suspension, Lucas Digne was not in Luis Enrique’s squad to face Monaco. A choice which is all the more surprising as the French international was not injured. Very quickly, information about the coach’s choice leaked. The Spanish technician would have felt that Lucas Digne accepted his status as an understudy too much in particular.
Present at a press conference after the defeat against Monaco, Luis Enrique returned to the absence of the Frenchman. “It will be a trend this season with different players. Three players must be out (of the group) in each match. There is no subject. Lucas, I know him very well, there is nothing special”he said.
