Xavi could have seven players back for Barcelona vs Espanyol - report

Xavi could have seven players back from injury in time for his first game in charge of Barcelona against Espanyol at the Camp Nou on November 20 in La Liga.

The Catalans have been plagued by injuries to key players throughout the early weeks of the season but the situation does appear to be improving, according to Diario Sport.

Midfielder Pedri is expected to make his return after suffering a relapse of a thigh injury. The teenager hasn’t featured since the Champions League defeat to Benfica but is expected back in full training next week.
