Guardiola's defensive problems are increasing by the minute. Now Chygrynskiy is out for a week with a slight thigh problem. Chygrynskiy noticed some discomfort in his left thigh in training, the scans revealed a 1.5cm tear. Now with that we have almost all of our defensive players in the squad in the injury list. Plus both Marquez and Pique both are suspended. Now the only option left to Guardiola is to use Keita at left back, Puyol and Milito in defense and Maxwell at right. Another option is to have Muniesa or Fontas as Centre defender and use Puyol as Right Back. But against the likes of Forlan and Aguero that could be suicidal.
