Losing players to injuries has always been a problem to every team. Losing seven first team player is a lot of numbers which definitely affect the team Xavi will have to do squad rotation to corb this problem. Playing Madrid at this time will be a tough one to handle especially when most of the injured players are defensive playings and playing against a very good attacking team it will really be tough for Barcelona.

Barcelona is having bad luck because a number of its players suffered injuries while defending the national team in the international break, The Backline that was the most heavily damaged by the storm of injuries that hit Kounde and Araujo.
Losing several mainstay players will affect Barcelona appearance, especially in holding back the opponent's attack, Real Madrid is one of the strongest teams that Barcelona will face in the midst of a storm of injuries that befell them.

Xavi still has Pique, Garcia and Christensen who can fill the posts left by Kounde and Araujo. The tactics used by Xavi require the central defenders to be able to build-up attacks through passes so that passing accuracy can help the attack line, Garcia and Christensen have better passing accuracy and they can be relied on to build attacks, but from the aspect of aerial duels, Pique far superior to Garcia and Christensen.
Xavi needs to be able to overcome obstacles perfectly to smooth their way to the title at the end of the season. Barcelona with Xavi already look a little better, but Barcelona players need to be able to make their opponents difficult when the team is suffering from injuries it will look much better.
