Barcelona star expected to miss remainder of the season after injury blow vs Atlético | OneFootball

A leading member of the midfield ranks at La Liga giants Barcelona looks set to miss the remainder of the campaign through injury.

That’s according to Barca insider Toni Juanmarti of Diario Sport, who points towards Marc Casadó as the player in question.

Casadó, for his part, was in from the off last night, as Barcelona made the trip to Spain’s capital for a crunch La Liga showdown with Diego Simeone’s Atlético Madrid.

En route to a rousing 4-2 comeback for the Blaugrana, however, the 21-year-old suffered an altogether significant injury setback.

As per Sport, Casadó has picked up ‘a rupture of the external ligament of the knee’.

Whilst initial reports suggested that the Spanish international could be back available to boss Hansi Flick on the far side of the international break, this diagnosis paints an altogether less encouraging picture.

As per Sport, in fact:

‘The player from Valladolid has said goodbye to the rest of the season.’
