FC Barcelona: FC Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez on Friday gave his solution to the question of breaks for international football which have left several players in Spain with injuries in recent weeks.

Speaking to the press ahead of his side's visit to play Rayo Vallecano, Xavi was asked about the knee injury which means Gavi will need an operation and miss the rest of the season, reports Xinhua.

He insisted he had a good relationship with Spain coach Luis de la Fuente and said "I don't think it's a problem of how the coach manages the team, but of the calendar. He (Gavi) has already played a lot of games and the calendar is packed with matches and that is the motive for his injury."
