Xavi names one important thing Barca 'almost never had' this season

"We have almost never had four or five midfielders available [this season]," Xavi has told the media when asked about Pedri's fitness.

Although Pedri is going to be fit for the Girona clash, the problem Xavi mentions is indeed a serious one – it's not the first campaign in which our midfielders suffer from injury proneness.

Both Pedri and Frenkie de Jong have missed many games this season while Gavi has been out since autumn.

Overall, Barca's injuries are quite concerning this season. To fix this, the club are going to hire a top-quality fitness and conditioning coach, as well as a new physio.
