Barcelona received a huge shock after it was confirmed that one of the most prominent players this season had suffered a cruciate ligament tear.
We are talking here about the young Marc Bernal, who participated in the start of the Blaugrana’s 2-1 victory over Rayo Vallecano on Tuesday.
Bernal was injured in the final moments of the match, and it seemed from the first glance that it was not a simple injury.
The newspaper “Sport” reported that the initial examinations proved that the 17-year-old player had suffered a cruciate ligament tear that will keep him off the field for the rest of the current season.
Barcelona coach, Hansi Flick, confirmed that he and the team are very sad about Bernal’s injury, especially after the amazing performance he has shown since the preparation period for the new season.
Bernal participated in the matches against Valencia and Bilbao, as well as against Rayo, and was seen as the magic solution for the midfield, and because of him, Barça decided not to sign a new player in this position.
