Barca have games that are important and they do rest him.

De La Fuente literally use him even in games that don't mean shit while resting everyone else.

So far this season he played every game that he was not suspended for with Barca

Last season he got played in all but 1 game that he was not suspended for. Including Copa Del Rey/ Supercopa/ CL

Season before that he was played in every CL and Europa league game that he was not suspended for. He wasn't picked for the first two league games of the season but played every single game afterwards including Copa Del Rey and SuperCopa where he wasn't suspended and 2 where he was positive for Covid

so far this season De Jong and Pedri has been injured for most it.

Last season Xavi played with 4 midfielders.

That is the point. Barca had games that were important. This was just a useless international game that had no point as they were already qualified yet De La Fuente played Gavi while resting everyone else and it ended with Gavi out for over 6 months.

It wasn't a useless game, Spain weren't yet guaranteed Pot 1 for the Euro 2024 groups.

Barcelona fucked up their squad management and haven't rested Gavi at all this year, if the injury is from overplaying then that's where the majority of the blame lies.
