Will the Leo Messi, Suarez and Griezmann trident return?

Against Athletic Setien could pick his three big names in attack

Jordi Delgado

Luis Suarez's reappearance is good news for Barcelona and Quique Setien, who deployed the club's second top goalscorer of the season against Sevilla for the first time.

Antoine Griezmann was rested, but now the coach can link up Messi, Suarez and Griezmann, the three big names, from the off against Athletic if he wants to do so.

Ansu Fati and Martin Braithwaite are the other options. It has not bee since January 4, 2020, that the trip played together in a starting line up. Suarez had a knee operation shortly after that.

 

Now the trident can return - they played together some minutes against Sevilla on Friday in a 0-0 draw.
