A fixture of Xavi
At Barça, Gavi has played 15 of the 17 games this season. He has only missed two due to suspension (against Shakhtar in the Champions League and Alavés). And in 9 of those 15 games he has completed 90 minutes. In fact, with the Blaugrana team, until the duel with Alavés, he had played six consecutive games for 90 minutes, which gives an idea of the capital importance he has for Xavi.
In the midfield, the Barça coach still suffers from the loss of Frenkie de Jong and the lack of filming Pedri after his return after a long absence due to injury. Gavi’s prolonged withdrawal is a significant blow.
