Xavi stance on Coutinho after dressing room dispute revealed by reporters

Xavi will not write off Philippe Coutinho before having a talk with him, according to Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo.

This comes despite rumours about a dressing room dispute between the Brazilian and some Barcelona players, in the aftermath of the disaster-class at Celta Vigo.

The new Barcelona gaffer is open to give every player a clean slate to start afresh at Camp Nou.

Xavi is yet to meet with Coutinho since being named Barca manager - the forward is currently away on international duty with Brazil.

Coutinho has been linked with a move away from Barca in January, as he's yet to pick up form following his return from a long-term injury.
