Valverde: Barcelona have previously had difficulties against newly promoted teams Barcelona vs Huesca The coach previewed his side's next game

Barcelona will not be looking past the threat that Huesca pose them this weekend, according to coach Ernesto Valverde, who is wary of the danger of facing newly promoted sides.

Already this season the Blaugrana took on Real Valladolid, with the pitch also playing a big part in their grinding out a 1-0 win.

Valverde is also relieved to have the transfer window closed and is excited about working with the squad at his disposal.

"It is still too early to analyse the changes that have taken place, but Huesca play with the enthusiasm you get from a newly promoted team," he said.

"They have shown they are capable of good results at difficult places, such as Ipurua or San Mames, and they won't be afraid.

"We know what these games are like because we have already had difficulties against newly promoted teams.

"For now, the window is over too and we're ready to move forward.

"There are no more uncertainties and we can focus on the game and all of the matches with the players we have, so I'm happy with this team."

Valverde also wanted to address concerns that in the early going this season summer acquisitions such as Malcom, Arthur or Arturo Vidal have found it hard to break into his plans.

"We had two games in which there was no midweek game after it," he explained.

"When we return from the break, the schedule becomes more hectic and we'll need everyone, whereas in these three games we were less inclined to make changes."

The match against Huesca kicks off at 18:30 CEST on Sunday.
