One of the standout young talents on the books of La Liga giants Barcelona is set for an upcoming spell on the sidelines.
That’s according to **[Diario Sport](https://www.sport.es/es/noticias/barca/futbol-base/oscar-gistau-operado-finlandia-112703809)**, who point towards Òscar Gistau as the player in question.
Gistau, for those not familiar with his name, is a 16-year-old centre-forward who has long been making a name for himself as a potential star in the making.
Despite his tender years, Gistau is already a regular with Barca Atlètic, the Spaniard’s goalscoring exploits having sparked widespread excitement behind the scenes in Catalunya’s capital.
Safe to say, then, that it will mark a blow for all associated with Barcelona to learn of Gistau’s development, for the time being, coming to a halt.
As revealed by Sport, the young frontman this week underwent surgery in Finland.
As much came in an effort to definitively resolve a long-standing right hamstring issue.
Gistau, in turn, is expected to spend a minimum of ‘a few months’ on the treatment table moving forward.
