Barça still has to deal with a major injury in its squad. After Lamine Yamal, another offensive executive was forced to join the infirmary, a worrying situation for the Catalan club.
Barça facing another major absence
Medical examinations revealed a muscular injury to the soleus muscle for Ferran Torres, confirmed by an official Barça press release. “Ferran Torres finished Saturday’s match with a muscle problem. The examinations detected a small injury to the soleus, which makes it unavailable until it is completely healed,” pclarifies the club.
With five goals and two assists to his name this season, Ferran Torres played a key role in the attacking sector. This injury comes at a crucial time for coach Hansi Flick, who will have to manage without two major assets.
A challenge for Hansi Flick
According to initial estimates, the former Valencian could return in time for the Spanish Super Cup, which begins in January against Athletic Bilbao. In the meantime, FC Barcelona will face Barbastro in the Copa del Rey, a meeting which could test the club’s young hopes.
The increase in offensive injuries poses a real challenge for Hansi Flick, who must keep Barça competitive in all competitions. The return of Ferran Torres will be decisive for the rest of the season, particularly in La Liga and the European Cup, where the Blaugrana are seeking to confirm their status.
