Barcelona coach Xavi admits he has injury concerns facing Manchester United in their Europa League playoff second-leg.
The tie is delicately poised following last week’s thrilling 2-2 draw at the Nou Camp.
And Barca boss Xavi is facing a potential selection headache ahead of Thursday’s return fixture.
Gavi’s yellow card in the first leg means he is suspended, while Pedri is also out after he limped off in the same game.
But elsewhere, Xavi has been left sweating on whether key duo Robert Lewandowski and Frenkie de Jong will be match fit.
The Barca gaffer said: “Frenkie de Jong and Robert Lewandowski played more minutes.
“I think they have been playing a lot of minutes, that’s why I made the changes. The other day Pedri was injured, and we can’t afford more injuries.
“Let’s prepare for Thursday’s game from tomorrow and see how tired they are.”
