According to Spain's "World Sports Newspaper", Spain's return from injury has made the competition in Barca's midfielder more intense, with five midfielders vying for 3 starting positions.
The 433 remains Xavi's preferred formation, although he has also used 442, 343 and 352, after Barca's three starting midfielders were contested by De Jong, Busquets, Garvey and Nico, and now Pedri's return has intensified the competition.
Busquets, as an experienced veteran, looks set to lock in a starting spot, and Garvey's rise this season has made it difficult for him to give up a starting position, so Pedri's return may prevent De Jong from starting.
