According to "Daily Sports", Barcelona youngster Xavi Espart was injured in a training and is expected to be sidelined for about two months. Preliminary tests showed there was a problem with his right knee, but it was unclear whether the ligament was damaged and doctors wanted to remain cautious before making a final diagnosis.
Barcelona has suffered serious injury troubles again recently. In the past few months, many important players have been injured one after another, and the team has lost many of its main players at a critical stage of the season. Xavi Espat was supposed to strengthen the second team during this period and losing him would be a major blow for them. The full-back has recently gained the confidence of head coach Hansi Flick and has even made a few first-team appearances, although he has yet to get a chance to play. The coaching staff appreciates his understanding of the game and the energy he displays, and this injury will undoubtedly severely hinder his development as he was originally scheduled to get more game time in the coming weeks. He was originally regarded as a substitute for Conde, who has accumulated a lot of playing time this season and needs to be rested. His absence has forced the team to restructure its plans and created new problems for an already struggling Barcelona.
