Barcelona star limps off with injury vs Real Madrid
La Liga giants Barcelona have on Sunday evening been dealt a blow on the personnel front. This comes after defensive star Xavi Espart suffered an injury setback.
Hansi Flick’s troops are of course currently locked in action on the domestic front, in a league meeting with arch rivals Barcelona.
The Blaugrana headed into the matchup unable to call on a number of key figures, particularly at the back, where all of Andreas Christensen, Eric García and Jules Koundé were forced to sit out through injury.
And as alluded to above, during the first-half at the Spotify Camp Nou, another member of Flick’s defensive ranks joined those already on the treatment table in Catalunya’s capital.
After pulling up off the ball, Xavi Espart immediately made clear to the hosts’ medical staff that he was unable to continue.
The youngster, as a result, limped off, replaced in Barcelona’s backline by Alejandro Balde.
