Revealed: Xavi could start Alonso over Pique at centre-back v Inter Milan for one reason

Barcelona's injury struggles continue as Xavi will be without three centre-backs for the game against Inter Milan.

The coach has two available centre-backs -- Eric Garcia and Gerard Pique. But despite this, Mundo Deportivo say that Marcos Alonso could start ahead of Pique at centre-back.

Barca will need fast players to defend against Inter's counters, and Alonso has a speed advantage over Gerard.

Alonso already played at centre-back in the match against Celta Vigo and did a decent job. However, he obviously feels more comfortable in his natural position at left-back.

Do you think it would be a good idea to play Alonso ahead of Pique at centre-back?
