Barcelona coach Xavi is confident of Andreas Christensen's fitness.

The Dane was forced off during victory over Getafe. Both Christensen and Alejandro Balde came off at the break.

"Christensen had some discomfort but nothing serious," Xavi explained. "Balde was a tactical substitution.

"We needed Jordi inside. Araujo and De Jong were not 100 percent so we saved them."

On Ansu Fati, he added: "He worked hard but didn't have a lot of chances because of how Getafe defended. He helped us in defence."
