Barcelona forward Ansu Fati is still yet to return to training ahead of Thursday’s Clasico clash with Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey.
Fati was ruled out of action last week with a bruised knee but Xavi said he expected the youngster to be fit for the trip to the Santiago Bernabeu.
Yet the forward was not at training on Tuesday morning, according to Mundo Deportivo, and is rated doubtful for the crunch match against Los Blancos.
Xavi will certainly be hoping Ansu is available given he is already without Pedri, Ousmane Dembele and Robert Lewandowski for the tie.
