Barcelona return from the international break with a La Liga clash against Las Palmas on Saturday, which will be the only game Barça will play before their massive trip to France for the Champions League quarter-final first leg against Paris Saint-Germain.
A few reports during the week claimed that Xavi Hernández was set to leave many of his big name stars on the bench to rest them for the clash with PSG, but the coach quickly dismissed that idea during a press conference on Friday.
When asked about the condition of two key veterans in Ilkay Gündogan and Robert Lewandowski, who have played a lot of minutes for club and country all season and during the latest international window, the boss made it clear they will be involved in Saturday’s game.
