Real Madrid midfielder Xabi Alonso had already pulled out of the international clash with a groin problem after the Blancos 1-0 defeat to Granada on Saturday night.
Alonsos fellow Spain team-mate but Liga adversary Xavi was examined by a Roja doctor on Sunday after complaining of pain in his right leg, and has been pulled out of the friendly squad to face the Copa America champions.
It is believed that the 33-year-old Blaugrana player picked up the issue in Barcas 1-1 draw with Valencia at the Mestalla on Sunday evening.
Vicente del Bosque still has a very strong squad to choose a starting line-up from, including the likes of Andres Iniesta, Juan Mata and Sergio Ramos.
