Some players have continued to struggle to work their way into reckoning with 

It could be no fault of theirs, as it's difficult for a manager to change a winning team. 

Here are the players with the fewest minutes under Xavi: 

It must be noted that some players on the list are there due to recurring injury this season - like Fati. 

Xavi: 'I feel bad for not being able to give Riqui Puig minutes'

 minutes, as there’s been fierce competition in his position - 

"He trains very well and I'm happy with him, he's improving, but the the competition is a pity."

Since the arrival of Xavi, Riqui Puig has played just 240 minutes across seven matches. He's started in two of those.

Meanwhile, the 22-year-old's contract at 

 runs until 2023. The club will soon have to decide between selling him or offering him a new contract.

'It's too late for him': Riqui Puig fan argues Barca need to sell midfielder

. Under the new coach, the 22-year-old has played just 240 minutes. Now, even the midfielder's personal fans believe that it's best for him to leave Camp Nou.

"I've been a Riqui defender ever since he got promoted to the first team, and I really wanted him to succeed at Barca," Reddit user victor179000 writes.

 and Koeman weren't fair with him, their squad management was really poor and Riqui was affected by it, he couldn't develop. 

 is here, but it seems like it's too late for him. 

, we have 4 amazing young players, so there's no room for him. 

"It's not that his wages are high or that he's bad or a nuisance, actually he performs just fine when he plays, as good as the minutes he has, but I believe he has potential, so the best for Riqui would be to show his worth in another team. 

"We could fill his space with another La Masia player, or with no one, maybe we don't absolutely need a 6th midfielder."

In total, Riqui has made 52 appearances for Barcelona's first team over the last four years. However, only 14 of those were from the start, and he completed 90 minutes of four occasions only.

89 for Fati and he has 5goals already?
Wow, return quick our most lethal Scorer with the best shooting accuracy.

I pity Luuk, he was in form but Xavi stopped playing him. it is unfair to him as he should be having at least 15mins in every game. He is not a liability after all
Braithwaite time is up.
Umtiti was like Bale, they did well when they came and now it seems we don't care about their records again. times up i guess.
Neto please leave already, Pena is there.
Mingueza will love Koeman more than Xavi, obviously. 
Lenglet is the only one that has many haters here.
Puig has many lovers but plays little minutes. time to make a move.

Function Guy....
