# Barcelona: Fans want Moussa Wague to start at right-back

**Barcelona could hand Moussa Wague his first start of the campaign against Leganes after the international break, according to [Sport](https://www.sport-english.com/en/news/barca/is-it-moussa-wague-time-7721852).**

\[freshpress-poll id=”259109″\]

Nelson Semedo is facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines with an injury – likely around five weeks (as per [Sport](https://www.sport-english.com/en/news/barca/is-it-moussa-wague-time-7721852)) – while Sergi Roberto is suspended for the clash.

This leaves manager Ernesto Valverde with somewhat of a selection headache ahead of the Blaugrana’s upcoming league match against Leganes.

Wague should, in theory, be called upon to start the match considering he is the only other right-back in the first-team squad, though Valverde has been reluctant to use him at all this season, deploying central midfielder [Sergi Roberto](https://www.sport-english.com/en/news/barca/is-it-moussa-wague-time-7721852) on the right-hand side of defence instead of the 21-year-old.

With Roberto ruled out through suspension, though, there is a huge opportunity for Wague to feature, and, if he does, he’ll have a great chance to show his manager exactly what he is capable of.

These Barcelona fans certainly want to see Wague handed a start against Leganes:
