It has been reported by SPORT that Xavi Hernandez possesses the component that will allow him to replace the vacuum that Frenkie de Jong has left behind.

Unfortunately, Barcelona is dealing with a severe injury situation. As the club led by Xavi Hernandez enters a crucial phase of the season, they are without a significant number of players. Pedri and Frenkie de Jong, two stars for Gavi, have been added to the sick list following the 0-0 draw with Athletic Club. Alejandro Balde, a member of the Gavi partnership, has been sidelined for an extended period of time.

In the course of this season, Pedri has experienced a hamstring ailment for the third time. The midfielder from Spain is anticipated to be sidelined for a period of six weeks. De Jong, the Dutch star, suffered a sprained ankle and will be sidelined for between four and five weeks.

Young players are afforded more opportunities as a result of injuries sustained by key players. This weekend, Barcelona will be playing RCD Mallorca, and the most recent report from SPORT indicates that Fermin Lopez will most likely start from the very beginning of the match.

Xavi considers Fermin Lopez to be a potential candidate to replace the vacuum that De Jong has left behind. Additionally, Oriol Romeu and Sergi Roberto are the two backup choices that are available. Fermin, Ilkay Gundogan, and Andreas Christensen will be the three midfielders that Barcelona will start with in order to manage the game.

Attacking players such as Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha, and Lamine Yamal are expected to be on the field from the very beginning of the game.
