Barcelona have received terrible news during their match against Real Madrid this Sunday, October 25.
The bad news is that Xavi Espart, the versatile full-back in Hansi Flick's squad, picked up an injury and had to be replaced by Alejandro Balde.
Espart's injury means he now joins Roony Bardghji, Andreas Christensen, Jules Koundé, Dani Olmo, and Eric García on Barcelona's injury list, adding to the team's concerns ahead of a busy schedule over the coming weeks.
Around the 30-minute mark, Espart felt ankle discomfort, which had already been bothering him from previous issues. He had to go to the ground and ask to be substituted, allowing Balde to come on for him.
At the time of writing, no detailed information about Espart's injury has emerged because the match is still underway. However, the Blaugrana club posted about their academy graduate, saying the Spotify Camp Nou crowd rose to its feet to applaud him as he left the pitch.
The club also added a key message, confirming that the injury's severity remains unknown. "Hopefully, it's nothing serious," Barcelona's official Spanish-language X (Twitter) account wrote.
