The Catalans will have to play without a key forward in their next La Liga clash.
Barcelona’s hopes for a strong lineup in their upcoming match against Osasuna have taken a severe hit with yet another injury blow. The Catalan giants, who have struggled with a string of injuries throughout the season, are now facing the absence of Joao Felix due to a sprained ligament in his right ankle, as officially communicated by the club today.
The injury adds to Barcelona’s already lengthy list of sidelined players, including the likes of Pedri, Andreas Christensen, Gavi, and Marc-Andre ter Stegen. The thin squad depth has been a significant factor contributing to Barcelona’s inconsistent form this season, with injuries exposing their vulnerabilities time and again.
Furthermore, the recent knee injury to Alejandro Balde, ruling him out for the rest of the season, has compounded Barcelona’s woes. With Raphinha also unavailable, Barcelona finds themselves with limited options in the forward line, relying heavily on Robert Lewandowski, Ferran Torres, and Vitor Roque for their attacking plans.
As they gear up to face Osasuna tomorrow evening, Barcelona will be aiming to bounce back from their disappointing 3-5 defeat to Villarreal over the weekend. However, the absence of key players like Joao Felix presents a significant challenge for Xavi Hernandez’s side as they strive to remain in the title race.
