From the first steps of Xavi Hernandez on the bench of FC Barcelona on November 20, when Barça won against Espanyol (1-0), Sergiño Dest played only four meetings in all competitions with the club culé for only one performed in its entirety. Between the infirmary and the sidelines, the 21-year-old American right-back is not having his best time in the FC Barcelona and could even be pushed out during the winter transfer window. The cause ? The president Joan Laporta would plan to downsize the squad of Xavi Hernandez and the ass coach would not seem to be counting on Dest According to the Iberian press. But the reason is purely physical according to Xavi .
“His problem is physical, otherwise we would have used him more”
“His problem is physical, otherwise we would have used him more. He had bad pain in his lower back, now his adductor muscles were strained. It's not a mental or football problem, but he's not well, he's not fit to play. It's a physical problem, nothing more ”. Xavi Hernandez said at a press conference on Monday afternoon and in comments reported by Mundo Deportivo.
