Xavi to Recall Two Key Barcelona Stars for Real Sociedad Clash
Blaugrana Aiming to Rebound After Dismal Performance
Gavi, Pedri Set to Return to Starting XI
Barcelona is preparing to welcome back two of its key midfielders, Gavi and Pedri, for their upcoming match against Real Sociedad on Saturday.
The Blaugrana have struggled in recent weeks, losing three of their last four La Liga matches, including a humiliating 3-0 defeat to Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey semi-finals.
Manager Xavi Hernandez is hoping that the return of Gavi and Pedri will provide a much-needed spark to his team.
"Gavi and Pedri are very important players for us," Xavi said in a press conference on Friday. "They bring energy, creativity, and a lot of quality to our midfield."
"We've missed them a lot in the last few games, and I'm confident that they can help us get back to winning ways."
Barcelona will be looking to bounce back from their recent setbacks and maintain their slim hopes of winning the La Liga title. They currently sit third in the table, 11 points behind leaders Real Madrid.
Real Sociedad, on the other hand, have been in impressive form this season and are currently fifth in the table.
Xavi is aware of the challenge that awaits his team on Saturday but is confident that Barcelona can get the result they need.
"Real Sociedad is a very good team," Xavi said. "They're well-organized, they have good players, and they're always difficult to beat at home."
"But we're confident that if we play to our potential, we can get the three points."
