Filed under:

Xavi could be short of options in midfield

Barcelona will have to cope without Gavi for their next Champions League clash against Shakhtar Donetsk after seeing the teenager sent off against Porto.

Gavi picked up a second yellow card late on for a pull back and will now serve a one-match suspension.

Barcelona host Shakhtar next time out in Europe’s top competition on October 22 but will have to make do without Gavi.

Xavi will be hoping that Frenkie de Jong and Pedri will be back in time for that clash or may find himself short of options in midfield.
