Xavi, the manager of Barcelona, has revealed that he intends to unleash new signing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang on Napoli in their Europa League match on Thursday.
Xavi stated that the Gabonese, who recently left Arsenal for the Spanish giants, was ‘100%’ ready to play in the continental game.
Since joining Barcelona on a free transfer from Arsenal, the striker has made two substitute appearances, having last started a game on December 2nd.
This is Barcelona’s first European match outside of the Champions League since the 2003-04 UEFA Cup.
“Aubameyang is good, and he trains really well,” said Xavi.
“He’s a player who can make a difference, he works well in spaces and makes good runs into the area.
“He’s put in performances in recent years that have been very good. I’m very happy with him, he’s working positively in our group, and he’s very professional.”
Recall that Barcelona dropped into the Europa League after failing to progress from a Champions League group stage for the first time since 2000.
Meanwhile, Napoli would be lining up Super Eagles forward Victor Osimhen when they take on the Catalan club on Thursday night.
