Casillas broke his hand for Real in midweek and will miss three Clasicos with Barcelona and a Champions League tie with Manchester United.
“His injury is a problem. He is the soul of Madrid and their captain. It is a significant injury for Real Madrid and the national team. We have sent him messages of support,” reflected Xavi.
“I talk to him a lot, we message each other, send encouragement. I have given him encouragement at moments, like when his Coach saw fit not to start him in the team.”
