Xavi has been ruled out of Barcelona's trip to the US for pre-season due to an issue with his passport, according to Gerard Romero.
The club is currently working hard to solve the issue and get the manager to join the team for the trip.
The issue dates back to Xavi's time at Al Sadd in Qatar where he was a player and a coach. He visited Iran three times in the last five years and failed to provide extra documentation to the US authorities to justify his visits.
Now, Xavi will need a 'special permission' to travel to the United States. The gaffer may join the team in Miami later as soon as the issue is resolved.
