Xavi Hernández

[Maria]

Official: Xavi has a muscle tear in his left calf and is out for around 15 days

#sigh

I suspect that Xavi was already playing injured and now either Pep wants to rest him or his injury has gotten worse. I pray for an early exit of Spain at the EC so that Xavi and Iniesta could rest for the first time since Pep's arrival..

exactly. he played with this injury since the world cup (including) knowing xavi he would still play if they were in the competitions and you wouldn't hear any complains. let him take a rest since the copa final, maybe play little against betis, then again a little rest, play the euros and come as strong as ever back in the next season.

He has been such a hero for us. A player about whom, we will be speaking for generations.

Now recover Xavi. You deserve this rest.

 

[Yugo Count Dante]

Past days have been so grumpy, only bright thing was Bayern going trough, I was so happy last night actually

 

[Manuel Traquete]

He should recover and rest for the Copa final, that's when we'll need him the most.

Until then, Thiago, Cesc and co. can do the job.

 

[Ender]

Xavi playing injured is still superior to the majority of midfielders on the planet.

Get well soon.

 

[Ryan_Cule]

too many bad things

 

[Deco 20]

Now he'll be able to get some rest at last.

Xavi, your passes show us the way

 

[Yugi]

rest him, and dont let him to EUROs
best rest he can get

 

[Maria]

Xavi has played an average of 66 games a year since the start of Euro 2008.

I know what El Capitan means to this team, but I think that going in to next year this team and club need Xavi more than ever.

 

[Barcaman]

Villa is back next season which means that Iniesta will play much less on the left wing. This will affect Xavi too as Tito will have 4 midfielders for 2 positions. Being rotated with Iniesta, Cesc and Thiago will see Xavi go on for years at this level.

 

[IrvDizzle]

I meant in a leadership role, not a performance role.

Except Tito decides to play 3-4-3. ... ... ... I mean ...
