Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez said that center-back Clement Lenglet is ‘a guarantee’ in
the team and that he the manager has full belief in the 26-year-old. Speaking about the
defender when asked in the press conference ahead of Barcelona's La Liga encounter against
Cadiz he said “I believe in him. I believe in everyone because they are all training well and with
commitment. I see him as a guarantee in our defense.”

Clement Lenglet has been sparingly used, making an appearance in only 12 of the 29 games
across all competitions under Xavi Hernandez and in overall playing just 20 games mostly
coming on as a substitute and playing on an average around 45 mins per game.

The center-back has faced a lot of competition from Ronald Araujo, Gerard Pique and Eric
Garcia, all of whom have performed incredibly well especially under new boss Xavi. And in his
most recent appearance the player did not have a great outing conceding a penalty just two
minutes after coming on.

The manager also went on to speak about the injuries in his squad, when asked about Pique’s
injury status he said that there is nothing to worry about “Piqué’s injury? It’s not an injury as
much as it is the discomfort he’s been experiencing lately. There is nothing to worry about.” he
also addressed Pedri’s injury and said that the most important thing for the player is to recover
well “Pedri’s injury? Without a doubt, he’s going through a tough time now. He’s been doing
really well during the season. The most important thing is for him is to recover from his injury,
but what happened is part of the sport.”
