La Liga action resumes this weekend, and Barcelona would be away to 10th place RCD Mallorca.
Barcelona boss Xavi Hernandez has admitted he’s expecting a difficult game from the home side.
Xavi has said: “The game against Mallorca will be complicated. They have a very good team in defence and direct football in attack. It won’t be easy to get the three points.”
Meanwhile, Xavi has also revealed his disappointment as he currently has five players out injured following the international break.
He stated: “I’m disappointed… but we have to be positive. All the injured players are important to us. But it is what it is. We have to be careful and pay attention to every detail. There is no particular reason why a lot of players got injured.”
“Injuries are nobody’s fault, not even the national teams’ fault. Bellerín has also been injured with us… It’s not about blaming anyone. I told the squad that everyone was going to be needed.”
