New Barcelona coach Xavi has quickly shaken up the club's fitness staff.

AS says physio Juanjo Brau and fitness coach Albert Roca are leaving the club and will be replaced by Iván Torres and Carlos Noqueira. The latter is close to Xavi, as he also was part of the technical staff at Al-Sadd.

Xavi made the move knowing there has been growing upset inside the locker room over the work of the club's medical and fitness staff.

Gerard Piqué, Ronald Araújo, Ansu Fati and Philippe Coutinho have all suffered long-term injuries over the past 18 months.

Xavi took his first training session as Barca coach on Tuesday.
