Ousmane Dembele did not train with his team-mates on Saturday. He has tonsillitis and will not be avaialbe for the clash with Javier Aguirre’s team. He joins Nico, Sergi Roberto, Dest, Umtiti and Pedri out injured, while Mingueza and Braithwaite have Covid-19.

Gerard Pique is a doubt too. He did recovery work while his team-mats trained. Pique has had some adductor problems, training when he can and playing when he can, over the past few weeks. He’s not ruled out but he’s not 100 per cent.

Ansu Fati will likely be back in the squad after getting injured at San Games in January. He may appear from the bench.

Xavi's press conference ahead of tomorrow's game with Mallorca.

Xavi Hernández: "This week was good to recover from fatigue. We've lost two very important chances to secure the Champions League and now we need a victory."

Xavi: "We have to make a tremendous effort at all levels."

Xavi: "Ansu will be on the list tomorrow. He's very good. If everything goes well, he will play for a few minutes."

Xavi: "Fati will do very well in the last games of the season. He's special."

Xavi: "Frenkie? We had an individual talk and he became calmer. He has had a very good performance in some games and we have to make it something constant."

Xavi: "De Jong is a very important player for me, for now and for in the future."

Xavi: "Tomorrow we have a crucial match against Mallorca. Sevilla failed yesterday, Atlético play today... We can't fail."

Xavi: "If Real Madrid become champions, we'll congratulate them. It's not a coincidence, it's consistency. A domestic league always ends up being won by the team who most deserves it. Next year we'll compete against them."

Xavi: "Ansu can play on the wing and as a center forward. He is a star player, he can score goals. He has to be close to the area."

Xavi: "Koeman? I have tremendous respect and admiration for him, because he also came at a very difficult time. Now what we have to do is to all be together."

Xavi: "Pedri trains separately and we'll see how he evolves. Piqué has had the tendon thing for months. Roberto hasn't relapsed, but rather a muscle issue. And Nico broke his toe yesterday in a clash with Ansu in training. Ousmane woke up with tonsillitis today. We'll see."

Xavi: "Adama and next year? I prefer not to talk about next year, but now. Adama is helping us a lot, he's important no matter how many minutes he plays. I already told him when we talked that he didn't always come to play every game, but he's an important player."

Xavi: "Puig? Yes, now with the injuries Riqui Puig has more chances of getting more minutes. Everyone has to be ready to play."

Xavi: "At Barça there must be two high-level players per position."
