Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez on Saturday called for the « decaffeinated » trip to Mallorca to be postponed this weekend due to a lack of fit squad members.
Xavi said he would be at least 17 for Sunday’s La Liga game Players forego, with French defender Samuel Umtiti waiting to give the all-clear after recovering from Covid-19.
Players like Daniel Alves, Philippe Coutinho and Jordi Alba are also among Barcelona’s 11 players, who have tested positive for COVID-19 in the past few days.
