Earlier today, news emerged that Barcelona’s young midfielder [Marc Casado](https://getfootballnewsspain.com/barcelona-confirm-extent-of-marc-casados-injury/) has suffered a partial ligament tear in his right knee.
The injury sees the young star pull out of international duty, and the 21-year-old is set to be stuck on the sidelines for some time.
As per the club’s social media, Casado is set to undergo a conservative treatment for his injury, which will hopefully see the partial tear heal on it’s own rather than needing surgical intervention.
As a result of this line of treatment, the young midfielder will likely be out of action for a shorter amount of time, but there may be a higher risk of the injury reoccuring in the future.
Casado is set to be out of action for around two months, although this timeframe depends on how well the 21-year-old responds to treatment.
Casado himself will be hoping to get some more gametime before the season ends, but this could be an optimistic outlook.
Here’s hoping Casado gets well soon and is back in action in a timely manner.
