The plague of injuries that plagues FC Barcelona This season is worthy of study. Despite having had a summer of rest and a complete preseason to prepare in the best conditions for the start of the official season, more than half of the squad has already passed through the Blaugrana infirmary in two and a half months of competition. The last one to be added has been Pedriwho suffers a rupture of the distal femoral biceps of his left leg.
To date, there have been 15 injuries at Barça since the start of the season, spread across 14 players: three of a traumatic nature (John the Garcia, Mark Bernal and Gavi) and twelve muscular (Ter Stegen, Balde, Christensen, Pedri, De Jong, Fermín, Olmo, Ferran Torres, Raphinha, Lamine Yamal y Lewandowski twice). It must be clarified that in the case of Marc Bernal it was not an injury that occurred this year, since he was injured last season, but he missed the first three games before receiving the medical discharge. But of course, losing the offensive trident has left the team affected – although not sunk.
On the other side of the coin, the only players who have not been out this season are Szczesny, Araujo, Cubarsi, Gerard Martin, Koundé, Eric Garcia, Marc Casadó, Rashford y Bardge.
Worry
As for traumatic injuries, they are unpredictable and cannot be prevented: your knees don’t warn you. Now, As far as the muscular ones are concerned, it is the job of the ‘staff’ to avoid as many of them as possible. For this reason, Hansi Flick’s concern has increased as the weeks have passed as he has seen how the casualty list has only increased day after day.
Evidently, the degree of difficulty for the German coach when planning games increases exponentially by not being able to count on such essential players in his scheme. In this situation, we will see How Flick reinvents himself in the face of adversity, demonstrate improvisation skills and flexibilityin addition to giving a vote of confidence to La Masia. Good challenge ahead for the German in his second season on the culer bench.
