These are the players that Xavi will not be able to or will not want to have in his debut. Everything indicates that Sergi Roberto, Nico and Eric GarcĂa will be available:
The very young Catalan player will not be available until approximately December 7. The Barcelona killer suffered an injury at halftime in the match against Celta de Vigo.
We will surely see him minutes in the game against Benfica, but against Espanyol it is a bit risky to make him enter the field. You are finishing your recovery process.
This season we have only seen him for half an hour, as he came from a four-month long injury and just the day he returned to the pitch he was injured again. Patience begins to wear thin.
The Dutch forward is physically available, but it is very likely that Xavi will decide not to use his services throughout his stay in Barcelona. He is a player who plays football very contrary to the philosophy of this team.
Another who can surely be seen against Benfica if necessary, but it seems very hasty to summon him for the match against Espanyol.
His heart problems will keep him off the pitch for at least three more months. At that point, the situation will be analyzed with a view to a possible withdrawal from football.
The Danish player will rejoin the team at the beginning of next year, although in the same way as Luuk de Jong it does not seem that he will count too much in Xavi’s plans.
It seems that with the arrival of Xavi until Samuel Umtiti is ahead in the hierarchical scale than the French central. It is not necessary to speak of AraĂşjo, PiquĂ©, Eric GarcĂa or even Mingueza.
