Xavi is convinced that the break in the national championships will be beneficial for the team and himself.
The Catalan player who suffered an injury was not called up to the Spanish national team camp, but he does not dwell on it. The most important thing for the footballer now is to get rid of all the ailments.
Xavi himself mentioned that the pain in his Achilles tendon bothered him for a long time, but the defender could not disappoint his teammates.
"I think I have suffered enough. Both me and the doctors knew very well that I was playing with a lot of pain. I was told to rest, but 'Barca' had important matches ahead and I had to be on the pitch. Now is a great opportunity to rest," said Xavi, admitting that he was very worried about such health problems.
According to the defender, he was most concerned about the possibility of missing the entire season due to the pain in his Achilles tendon and possible complications.
Xavi already missed a match in "La Liga" against "Mallorca", did not play in the match against the Lithuanian national team in the Euro qualifiers, and did not take to the field in the duel with Scotland.
The conductor of Barcelona's attacks hopes that there will be enough time to recover properly and he will be able to play in the Spanish championship match against the players of "Valencia".
"Everything will depend on how the body rests and the pain subsides. I always hope for the best. We will see what the team doctors say. Next week will be decisive," said the Catalan.
