    People will put all the blame towards the Spanish coach, but Barca have continuously played this 19 year old kid for a long while now.

    Surely at that age minutes should be managed more sensibly instead of relentless playing time?

      Barca have games that are important and they do rest him.

      De La Fuente literally use him even in games that don’t mean shit while resting everyone else.

        So far this season he played every game that he was not suspended for with Barca

        Last season he got played in all but 1 game that he was not suspended for. Including Copa Del Rey/ Supercopa/ CL

        Season before that he was played in every CL and Europa league game that he was not suspended for. He wasn’t picked for the first two league games of the season but played every single game afterwards including Copa Del Rey and SuperCopa where he wasn’t suspended and 2 where he was positive for Covid

          so far this season De Jong and Pedri has been injured for most it.

          Last season Xavi played with 4 midfielders.

          That is the point. Barca had games that were important. This was just a useless international game that had no point as they were already qualified yet De La Fuente played Gavi while resting everyone else and it ended with Gavi out for over 6 months.

      We don’t even know whether the injury is due to him being overplayed or not, I’m not sure why that’s the consensus on this sub right now

      The problem is that Barça has a very thin squad and it didn’t help that Pedri and De Jong have been injured at several points of the season
