Xavi has been preparing his team for their match this weekend against Mallorca. The coach is confident in a win to see them remain as high as they possibly can in the La Liga table.
The manager is already aware that Nico Gonzalez is one absentee for this fixture. Barca have confirmed that the player is out injured due to "a fracture in the fourth toe of his left foot".
Barca have not specified how long he will be sidelined for. "His recovery will determine his availability", notified the club in a brief medical announcement. 'AS' predicts that he could be out for the next three weeks.
Nico is not the only absentee on Xavi's list for the Mallorca clash. Mingueza's injury was confirmed on Thursday, as well as Braithwaite's unavailability.
The positive news ahead of the fixture is that Ansu Fati could make his return to the pitch. Xavi is hopeful that his player will be able to get some game time after three months out.
