In the team - a serious loss. One of the main defenders of the team Xavi suffered a serious injury during training yesterday and will not be able to play for about half a year.
The 25-year-old footballer got injured in a regular club training session when he accidentally collided with his teammate Edmilson. Barcelona's medical staff immediately rushed to announce that the Spaniard had severely strained the cruciate ligaments in his right knee.
Due to this injury, Xavi will undoubtedly miss the rest of the season defending the Spanish champions' title. This injury could also disrupt the defender's chances of breaking into the Spanish national team lineup, which will participate in the World Cup finals next summer.
