He has a chronic injury in his calf. That's probably it.

Xavi has a sore soleus muscle in his right leg and is being rested for the Cartagena Cup clash

Just a thought what do you think would have happened had Xavi been on the pitch in Istanbul for the Galatasaray vs Juventus match

He is still training apart from the group because of a muscle discomfort..

It seems to me his injury is chronic. I believe we must careful and thoughtful about the matches we field him in.

It is, he has a chronic tendinitis in his right calf. He really should play only in important matches. The problem is almost all matches are crucial now, and Barça have no adequate sub for him.

No worries, we have Thiago... oh wait...

We really need to think of a midfield we can use to rest Xavi this season (and get a CM who can rest Xavi in the summer). Cesc/Iniesta has worked all right this season, maybe we should try it more often.

Unfourtunately with Tata's reluctance to try Alexis or Pedro in cf we'll see xavi on unless he decides to let sergi run out.

Can you stop with your Thiago fetish? Its getting annoying that you keep repeating his name in most of your posts

Not making the trip to the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez is Xavi Hernández, who has not been training with the squad for the last few days and has failed to recover in time from an injury to his right soleus.

This is worrying... and showing he has played too much. I think a proper replacement for him should come in the summer.

He will be rested more often once messi returns. Plus roberto looks promising, for now it is enough for now. We dont need a CM immediately may be in future we will need one, but i trust youth system.

What about Busquets when Samper comes on the scene in the first team. Busi clearly has the vision and ability to control the game like Xavi maybe if he is pushed into the Xavi role he can excel beyond his legendary CDM role into a Xavi-esque CM

I'd rather push Samper up.

Samper looks to be a good CDM but I don't see the vision like I see in Busi
