Former Barcelona player and current boss Xavi has responded to his team’s severe injury crisis.
His club is less strong when they resume La Liga play this weekend due to the “plague of injuries.”
Frenkie de Jong, Memphis Depay, Jules Kounde, and Ronald Araujo are on the list of injured players. These players all suffered an injury during the international break.

“It frustrates me but I have to think about the positive,” Xavi said.
“We haven’t found an explanation, it’s multifactorial and each player is different. It’s happened. We’ll try not to let it happen to us. More caution, prevention… we’ll talk to the national teams.
“We don’t know if they’re the trips, the load of games, the methodology… no blame is being sought. It’s a disgrace, but there is a small plague of injuries. Time to show that we have a great squad.”
