Champions League Juggling Act For Xavi With Clasico On The Horizon
Athletic Club Bilbao: Xavi Hernandez has a juggling act to carry out when FC Barcelona entertain Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League on Wednesday night.
The game comes just three days before Barca host Real Madrid in the first 'Clasico' of the season on Saturday evening, meaning that his side have 24 hours less to prepare for the tie than their rivals.
That would not be such an issue if Xavi had a full squad to choose from, but Barca host Shakhtar with a host of key players on the sidelines. Robert Lewandowski, Jules Kounde, Raphinha, Pedri, Sergi Roberto and Frenkie de Jong are all injured and although all but Kounde and Sergi Roberto have a chance of being fit for Saturday, none look likely to play on Wednesday.
