Catalan suffers hamstring injury and will be out for 15 days

After tests this morning revealed a tear in his left hamstring Xavi Hernández will be out for the next 15 days and will miss Barça’s next two games against Getafe and Granada, though if his recovery goes as planned, he’ll be back for the Champions League game against Milan set for 20th of this month. Xavi will also miss Spain’s friendly against Uruguay on Wednesday.

Xavi has made 33 appearances so far this season and scored six goals. Xavi played almost all of Sunday’s game at Mestalla – coming off for Thiago in injury time.

Thank god he doesn't miss any clasicos! Hope he's back for Milan!

Get well soon!

Provided the recovery goes well, could be a blessing in disguise.

Fine. He will rest.

He should be back for the Milan game, so at least he's gonna get some rest.

 

[Barcaman]

Fine. He will rest.

Yep. Misses Spain's friendly and 2 "easy" fixtures in La Liga. No big deal.

 

[jamrock]

He'll be bad in a week

I'll be pissed if he misses the Milan game.

3 days after a classico with a double digit lead in La Liga and we play the Maestro for 90 mins almost? Bad management from overseas by Tito and even worse by Roura who probably told Tito Xavi looks in great shape in practices.

 

[impeh]

kinda sucks, but he'll be back for the bigger games and we have great cover. Plus players always seem to pick up little injuries just before international friendly week

Ok this means that Thiago will just take the reigns. Nice little test for Thiago.

 

[Indignado]

Maybe he will play Cesc in the Xavi spot.

 

[Garrus]

Actually it's a good news, He'll finally get some rest.
