Xavi Hernández looks forward to El Clásico
Although tomorrow he plays an important match against Shakhtar, for Matchday 3 of the UEFA Champions League, Xavi Hernández cannot help but think and talk about Saturday's duel against Real Madrid, the current leader of LaLiga. At the moment, FC Barcelona has several injured players (some of them undisputed starters like Frankie De Jong, Pedri, and Robert Lewandowski). However, this Tuesday, October 24, the blaugrana coach showed optimism and pointed out that he trusts in recovering some of his players for the Spanish classic.
In addition to the three mentioned, other players who are in the process of recovering from their respective injuries are Raphinha, Lamine Yamal, Alejandro Balde, and Sergi Roberto. After none of them entered the field for Wednesday's match in the Champions League group stage, the azulgrana coach did not rule out their possibility of playing against 'Casa Blanca' on the weekend.
