25 Oct
Summary
- Xavi Espart sustained an injury during El Clasico on Sunday.
- Espart's injury adds to Barcelona's existing defensive absences.
- The full extent of Espart's injury remains unconfirmed.
Barcelona's defensive ranks have been dealt another blow with Xavi Espart suffering an injury during Sunday's El Clasico. Espart, who was playing at right-back, had to be substituted in the first half following a challenge. This incident marks a significant setback for the promising teenager who has become a key player for the Catalan giants this season.
The injury to Espart exacerbates Barcelona's existing defensive crisis. The team is already without Eric Garcia, Andreas Christensen, and Jules Kounde due to prior injuries. The full severity of Espart's knock is yet to be determined, with potential updates expected after the match.
Barcelona's next fixture is against Alaves in La Liga over the weekend. Following this, they are scheduled to face Aston Villa in the Champions League and then Atletico Madrid in another league encounter.
