FC Barcelona receives a major positive injury update on a key star, confirming an imminent return after the International break.
The timing of this positive news is crucial for Barcelona’s campaign, as the squad faces several midfield challenges due to injuries and suspensions.
With an international break approaching, this window offers invaluable time for recovery and preparation ahead of important upcoming fixtures.
The player in question is Marc Casadó, who was a late withdrawal from Barcelona’s starting lineup against Celta Vigo after feeling a nagging thigh discomfort, as reported by Diario Sport.
Tests conducted at the club’s facilities revealed that Casadó is suffering from a minor adductor muscle injury.
The diagnosis confirmed that there is no serious damage, and the midfielder’s decision to rest rather than play through pain likely prevented a more severe setback.
Casadó will be closely monitored in the coming weeks, but the prognosis suggests he will be available to return after the international break.
His return comes at a critical moment for Barcelona, as the team prepares to face Athletic Club following the hiatus.
Midfield options are thin, especially with Frenkie de Jong suspended for that fixture, and the likelihood that Pedri will still be sidelined due to a thigh muscle tear further increases pressure on the squad.
Casadó’s availability will offer coach Hansi Flick much-needed stability and leadership in the defensive midfield role.
Given the rigorous demands of La Liga and Barcelona’s ambitions this season, maintaining a healthy midfield is vital.
Casadó’s smart decision to prioritize recovery and the medical staff’s positive update provide cautious optimism for the Catalan side.
Fans and staff alike hope this encouraging news marks the beginning of a swift and complete comeback, helping Barcelona navigate the coming weeks with enough squad depth to challenge on all fronts.
