Messi was definitely rushed back last season,hopefully they won't make the same mistake this year, I assume they won't since it's earlier in the season and not such a crucial time. Before Guardiola he was actually a bit injury prone I guess partly due to the fact he was still so young and still needed to develop physically. Ronaldo has hardly been injured over the last few years either, I think it;s a big part of why both have been producing the figures with goals that they have. It makes me very sad to say it but I think Xavi's best days are behind him now. He's still about as safe a pair of feet as you could possibly find but he doesn't turn and move with the ball like he used to and he sometime slows up counter attacks.
