Barcelona coach Quique Setien insists Antoine Griezmann is a crucial part of his plans.

It's been suggested Griezmann faces being sidelined during the LaLiga restart with Luis Suarez now fully fit and Martin Braithwaite scoring his first goal in victory at Mallorca.

But Setien says, "Griezmann is indisputable, he is a great footballer and we continue to count on him, he will continue to have prominence because he is important for the team and the club, but there are also other players that we have to use.

“I have already said that here there is only a hierarchy of starters who have earned it with their work in many years within the team. What I need is to control and study well because my interest is that everyone is fresh when they go out onto the field."
