has been cut short at the worst possible moment. Just when the Barça team is getting excited about the return of Xavi to the club and when the Spanish team has to face two momentous duels to ensure their presence in the Qatar World Cup against Greece and Sweden, the young star has to stop again. His muscles, possibly suffering from that knee injury that had him for so many months away from the pitch, said enough. And he did it in the form of a hamstring tear in the thigh of his left leg.
