Koeman coil on Lenglet possible start ahead of the Elche game

Lenglet has received a lot of criticism after his costly error in previous match and Koeman says that a player needs to show self-confidence in order to play from the start.

Both the physical and the mental states are important, the coach claims.

During the press conference ahead of the Elche game, Ronald Koeman was asked whether Clement Lenglet will start in the upcoming match.

"These are always decisions that we have to make. A player needs to be convinced, needs to show a lot of self-confidence, a lot depends on the physical and mental state of each player, not just Lenglet. We need to find the best solution for tomorrow’s game."

Lenglet has received a lot of criticism from fans following his mistake in the 1-1 draw against Cadiz. The penalty the Frenchman gave away ended up costing Barcelona two points.

In total, Clement has played 32 matches for Barca this term, recording one goal. He's started in 27 games, more than any other centre-back at the club.
