“It hurts not to be able to fight alongside my teammates, not to be able to help when the team needs me. But I believe in them and I know they will give everything in every match.I’ll be there, even if it’s from the outside, supporting, cheering, and pushing like everyone else. This is not the end, it’s just a break. I’ll come back stronger, more eager than ever, and next season will be better.
“Thank you for the messages and Visca elBarça.💙❤️ “

This is obviously a very big blow for both Barcelona and the player, but at least they have a major cushion up at the top of the table. They should be able to just cruise on in to the La Liga title, even despuite all the injuries. Barca will have another notable absence for Saturday’s clash at Getafe besides Yamal, with Raphinha (also a hamstring injury) not expected to be fit and available in time.
Barcelona will likely also be without utility man and defender Eric Garcia, who is suspended here, due to yellow card accumulation.

Right back Joao Cancelo was also injured in the Celta win, but his knee problem is not serious, according to several reports. It is thought to just be a knock, and he should be fine to feature on the weekend. Otherwise the Barca injury/fitness situation remains the same.
