    so far this season De Jong and Pedri has been injured for most it.

    Last season Xavi played with 4 midfielders.

    That is the point. Barca had games that were important. This was just a useless international game that had no point as they were already qualified yet De La Fuente played Gavi while resting everyone else and it ended with Gavi out for over 6 months.

      It wasn’t a useless game, Spain weren’t yet guaranteed Pot 1 for the Euro 2024 groups.

      Barcelona fucked up their squad management and haven’t rested Gavi at all this year, if the injury is from overplaying then that’s where the majority of the blame lies.
