The injury list kept growing as Inigo Martinez, Marcos Alonso, and Joao Canelo were slight knocks and are doubtful for the upcoming games. FC Barcelona will need to trust the available players they currently have playing.

In the Spanish Super Cup semifinal against Osasuna, Xavi managed to play with the returning Pedri, who came on in the second half to replace Sergi Roberto. The Spaniard midfielder changed the game along with Joao Felix, who also impacted the game positively.

Barcelona would win the game in the second half with Robert Lewandowski and Lamine Yamal. The celebrations of the Barca players and fans became noticed as they advanced to the Spanish Super Cup final, where they will play Real Madrid. There is a slight problem many, including myself, would not like to hear. Another player is out due to injury and won't feature in the final against Real Madrid.

Raphinha will miss El Clasico on Sunday and could miss action for over a month

Xavi received some terrible news after learning about the seriousness of the injury. Raphinha suffered a left hamstring injury in the 42nd minute of the semifinal 2-0 win over Osasuna. The Brazilian will be ruled out of playing against Real Madrid and can miss a crucial game against Napoli in the Champions League.

Reports by Mundo Deportivo have suggested that the injury can last past the first leg against Napoli, which will take place on the 21st of February at the Maradona stadium. Xavi will expect to miss Raphinha for up to nine games in all competitions! It will be a tough task for the Catalan side since they rely on Lamine Yamal, the only natural right winger in the available squad.
