Barcelona announced in an official statement that its star Ferran Torres suffered a muscle injury that will keep him away from football matches for a period.
According to the Catalan club’s statement, Torres is suffering from a minor muscle injury in his right calf, and the duration of his absence depends on the pace of his recovery from the injury.
Catalan media reported that Torres will initially miss the match against Barbastro on January 4 in the Spanish King’s Cup.
There are also strong doubts about the possibility of the Spanish international participating in the match against Athletic Bilbao in the semi-finals of the Spanish Super Cup in Saudi Arabia, scheduled for January 8.
Torres’ injury will increase Barcelona’s offensive pursuit, considering that Lamine Yamal has also recently been out due to injury, and thus the offensive solutions depend only on Lewandowski, Raphinha, Ansu Fati and Dani Olmo.
The 24-year-old Torres has made 15 appearances for Hansi Flick’s side this season, scoring five goals and providing two assists.
