  • Xavi has confirmed that Busquets will be back in action against Man Utd on Thursday.

EKO HOT BLOG reports that Barcelona boss, Xavi Hernandez has confirmed that Sergio Busquets is back ahead of his side’s clash with Manchester United on Thursday.

The Catalan giants drew 2-2 with the Red Devils two days ago. And they’ll go up against Cadiz on Sunday looking to boost their hopes of winning La Liga.

EDITOR’S PICKS

Barcelona and United played out a thriller on Thursday night, with both teams impressive during the showdown at the Nou Camp.

Marcos Alonso opened the scoring for the Catalan giants but a Marcus Rashford strike and Jules Kounde’s own goal then put the Red Devils ahead.

In the end, Raphinha struck a leveller to ensure Barcelona didn’t fall to defeat.
It was a frustrating night for the Catalan giants, however, with Pedri limping out of the showdown in the first half.

But, speaking ahead of his side’s clash with Cadiz, Xavi has now confirmed Busquets is back to fill the void.

“He is very important, vital for us,” he said when asked about Pedri. “He makes a difference and gives us a lot, but there are other alternatives.

“Franck [Kessie] and Frenkie [De Jong] are doing well and [Sergio] Busquets is back.
He added: “His absence is always noticeable. We have noticed. He is recovered and it is great news for us.”
