Xavi has been ruled doubtful for Barcelona's Champions League last-16 second leg with AC Milan.
The 33-year-old is suffering from a hamstring injury which had seen him struggling ahead of the first leg two weeks ago.
According to reports in Spain, Xavi is unlikely to be fit for the return leg at the Camp Nou on March 12.
Blaugrana must overcome a 2-0 deficit if they are to reach the quarter-finals.
