Barcelona have had to scale through recent games without some of their star players due to injuries.

Xavi has been counting on the club’s youngsters, as up to 7 important first team players were out injured.

However, there has been a boost ahead of this weekend’s El Clasico.

Robert Lewandowski, Frenkie De Jong, Pedri, Raphinha and Jules Kounde have all recovered and are back in training just 24 hours before El Clasico.

All five players have missed Barca’s last two matches at least, and would now provide a huge boost for Xavi, who has often bemoaned the team’s injury crisis.
