Real Madrid worries, Xavi's unprecedented decision to avoid more injuries to Barcelona

One of the most anticipated games of the entire season is slowly approaching; Real Madrid vs Barcelona. This October 28, the two biggest clubs in Spain and the world will face each other in La Liga, at the FC Barcelona stadium. Despite the excitement of the match, Barcelona has suffered countless injuries, which already make the white team the favorite.

Despite the injuries, Xavi Hernandez does not want to alarm anyone: "There are significant casualties, but we are fine, with good feelings after hard-fought victories. We don't have a plague, but the squad is shorter than it is long and it seems that way. We hope to get people back in the next game. The important thing is that they recover well.

Now, after the coach's reassuring words, Xavi's new measure to avoid more injuries in these ten days of FIFA break has been revealed. After the injuries of Frenkie de Jong, Robert Lewandowski, Jules Koundé, Raphinha, Lamine Yamal, Pedri and Gavi, Xavi has chosen to give days of rest to the rest of the squad that did not travel with their national teams, as is the case with Spain .

Scotland is in first place in the group A table, while Spain is in second place. For its part, Norway is third, just two points behind Spain, leaving after these matches only two dates to complete the qualifying stage. The Spanish soccer team plays its next match for qualification for Euro 2024 against Scotland for matchday 7 of group A on October 12. After the tough match, it will be time to visit Norway for matchday 8 on October 15 in the Ullevaal Stadion.

Spain has problems:

Luis de la Fuente defended his players from criticism: What I believe is that you must always respect the players who are called up. For me, the players who are here right now are the best footballers who can be with us at this moment.
