Barcelona boss Xavi has admitted that he has been "concerned" by the club's injury problems this season.

The Spaniard's presentation as the Catalan outfit's new head coach took place on Monday, with the legendary midfielder setting out his plans for the future, having officially replaced Ronald Koeman.

Xavi, among other things, discussed Ousmane Dembele's future at Camp Nou, calling a new contract for the France international "a priority".

Dembele recently worked his way back from a long-term knee problem but is now back on the sidelines with a hamstring issue, while Eric Garcia, Ansu Fati, Nico Gonzalez, Sergino Dest, Gerard Pique, Sergi Roberto, Pedri and Martin Braithwaite are all currently struggling with injuries.

Xavi said that it was vital for Barcelona "to regain order", with the Spaniard keen to understand why the players are currently picking up so many injuries.

"Obviously we are concerned. We have to regain order, to see what the problem is and provide solutions," Xavi told reporters. "It is a task for the medical team. We have an idea, but we have to talk to the president. We have to recover players."

Xavi's first match in charge of Barcelona will be the Catalan derby against Espanyol at Camp Nou on November 20. body check tags ::
