Of course he wants to play, but he doesn't need to play. Maybe we need him for Sevilla but I'm sure we can cope without him with the other two matches

Yeah I'm not saying he doesn't want to play, it's obvious he does but in the long run would that really be smart? I'm saying he should rest for Tenerife at least, I think it's better he not play an easy match than get worse and not be able to play at all the other two matches and then in the WC.

Yes I agree, rest him and play with Toure-Busquets-Keita for Tenerife match, he can play again for Sevilla though..

Resting Xavi ?.. It all sounds so nice..but its not going to happen. Not with Pep. Besides, its all hands on deck at this stage. Pep is not really known for the 'resting players' policy. He has hardly ever done it. Plus with the way things are going, we cannot make any mistakes at this stage of the season. No team should be underestimated, which is what pep always preaches. From now till the title is won, we can expect to see a full strength lineup for every game, even against relegation strugglers. But then again, maybe he will.

Busquets was also in doubt for Villarreal, so I think it's best if we rest him as well. Maybe JDS or Thiago?

Oh man....... You're not supposed to play at all with a tear at this level of play...

Read on Marca that he played with a 3 inch tear. That sounds severe. Considering I haven't read it anywhere else I was wondering if anyone else has seen/heard this?
Nevermind, read back and saw Gneg mentioned it was 3cm. Still, that cannot be good.
A lot better than 3 inches though.

i noticed that too. he didnt rest messi nor xavi when he had the luxury of resting them when we were up by multiple goals.
so i dont expect him to change now..hehe

Busquets is suspended for the next match so he will get some rest.
they just wanted to sensationalize things
I felt a sensation alright. It wasn't pleasant. lol
