Still missing
Starfelt (back) is out for Thursday's match against Frieburg, according to manager Claudio Giraldez, per Rafa Valero of Marca. "He is an important player for us but we have had many games without him in which the team has competed very well. We have confidence in all members of our staff. I think everyone is prepared. We have come from playing a very complete game in Valencia three days ago and the team does not depend on any player in particular. We prefer to have everyone but in this case the smart thing was to take care of him."
