Barça’s number 10 was injured this Wednesday night, during the La Liga match that pitted his team against Celta at Camp Nou. The player fell to the ground immediately after shooting the penalty, which he himself had caused, and which would end up giving his team, the La Liga leader, the victory. The muscle injury suffered by the forward will force him to miss the entire season, including the Clásico to be played on May 10. However, despite doubts about whether it would jeopardize his participation in the Football World Cup, Barça estimates that he will be available for coach Luis de la Fuente. This summer’s championship in the USA, Mexico, and Canada begins on June 11. The Spanish national team’s training camp at Ciudad Deportiva de Las Rozas is scheduled for May 30. Spain’s World Cup debut, the longest in history —five weeks of competition, the final is on July 19—, is on June 15 against Cape Verde.
Hansi Flick had a conversation with the player in the locker room after the match and the feelings were not positive. According to club sources, concern was high and it was no longer ruled out that the injury could jeopardize the rest of the season.
