FC Barcelona is facing a tough time with injuries. So far, 15 players from the team have been absent at some point, totaling 22 times in the past few months. This has greatly impacted Xavi Hernández‘s plans. Unfortunately, none of the four main midfielders who helped Barça win the league in the 2022-23 season will be available in the upcoming weeks.The team clinched the last league title with key players like Sergio Busquets, Gavi, Frenkie de Jong, Pedri, and even Kessié. Despite having less playing time, Kessié scored a crucial goal at the Spotify Camp Nou against Real Madrid. However, Xavi will have to manage without any of these four players for a while.Out of these five players, two will not play for Barça again. Sergio Busquets ended his successful career at the club and moved to Inter Miami. Kessié also made a positive impact after joining from Milan on a free transfer, scoring an important goal before leaving for Arabia, bringing in money for Barcelona.Meanwhile, Xavi couldn’t have foreseen the string of bad luck his midfielders are facing. Gavi had the most unfortunate incident when he suffered a serious knee injury during a match with Spain, ruling him out for the entire season since November 19th.The last to be added to this list have been Frenkie de Jong and Pedri. The Dutchman had his second problem with his right ankle so far this season and the Canarian had his third muscle injury. Barça did not specify the length of time he would be out, but it is expected that Xavi will not be able to count on either of them for at least the next month and a half.
