Barcelona lost both Frenkie and Pedro Gonzalez-Lopez Pedri to right ankle and thigh injuries in the 0-0 draw with Athletic Bilbao earlier this month. The latter will likely take a long time to recover, but Xavi expects the Dutch midfielder to be back ready for the game against PSG in the middle of next month.

‘We are optimistic. When we talk about injuries, it’s like this. We have not set a return date. But the feeling will determine (When he returns)’ Xavi said of Frankie. 

However, there is some good news for Xavi as both Ferran Torres and Marcos Alonso will be available for selection for Sunday’s away game against Atletico Madrid. 

‘Tomorrow we will reveal the team and in principle Both will be available if no changes are made.’ 

The 44-year-old trainer also spoke about facing the Atletico team this Sunday. ‘Emotionally, Both teams are in good shape after advancing to the quarter-finals. (Champions League) They have a major physical war. But there is less than a day of rest. We’ll see tomorrow what Cholo chooses. Our thoughts are unchanged.’
