Barcelona coach Xavi insists there's no regrets not selecting Ousmane Dembele for last night's Copa del Rey defeat to Athletic Bilbao.
Barca sporting director Mateu Alemany announced on Thursday that Dembele would be "sold before January 31" after refusing to sign a new agreement.
And that decision also includes Dembele not being considered for selection.
Xavi said after the defeat: "Dembélé is important but it is a decision of the club and we all agree.
"I don't think his absence affected the team."
