Barcelona boss Xavi has not ruled out a return to the Nou Camp for Abde, stating: "He is making the most of his loan, he is making a difference and he is being professional. He has played very good games in Osasuna and the challenge is for Barça to always have this continuity.
"The level he showed yesterday with Osasuna is what he must always show because this is Barça. Here he must show his best level and have continuity.
