Barcelona Injured Players Status Update Ahead Of Inter Milan Clash
Given below is a list of all the injured Barcelona players along with their injury status and other details:
1. Memphis Depay
Injury Status: Out
Injury Type: Hamstring
Possible return date: October 23 (vs. Athletic Bilbao)
Memphis Depay picked up an injury over the course of the international break, much like a number of the other injured Barcelona players.
The 28-year-old Dutch international suffered a hamstring problem in the 2-0 victory over Poland. Following the injury, he has missed all club games and will probably miss the El Clasico on October 16.
2. Frenkie De Jong
Injury Status: Major Doubt
Injury Type: Hamstring
Possible return date: October 4 (vs. Inter Milan)
Similar to Depay, Frenkie de Jong also suffered a hamstring injury in the Netherlands’ UEFA Nations League meeting with Poland. However, de Jong returned in time for the Inter clash.
The midfielder is set to undergo further testing with Barcelona to assess whether he can be included in the travelling party for the midweek away trip.
3. Ronald Araujo
Injury Status: Out
Injury Type: Thigh
Possible return date: Unknown
Sadly, Ronald Araujo is set to miss the World Cup after opting to undergo surgery on a thigh injury he sustained while on international duty with Uruguay.
4. Jules Kounde
Injury Status: Out
Injury Type: Hamstring
Possible return date: October 16 (vs. Real Madrid)
Jules Kounde is back in training as he continues his recovery from a hamstring injury, which forced him off during France’s 2-0 victory over Austria.
Jules will likely miss the double-header with Inter and Sunday’s league game against Celta Vigo. However, the defender hopes to return in time for El Clasico.
5. Hector Bellerin
Injury Status: Out
Injury Type: Calf
Possible return date: October 23 (vs. Athletic Bilbao)
Unlike the other injured players, Hector Bellerin picked up his injury during training last Tuesday. Bellerin suffered a calf problem, which will possibly keep him sidelined for three to four weeks.
6. Andreas Christensen
Injury Status: Out
Injury Type: Ankle
Possible Return Date: Unknown
Christensen has suffered a grade two sprain in his left ankle during Tuesday’s 1-0 loss against Inter Milan.
The injury could keep the centre-back out of action for about a month. This means that the player might not play for Barcelona again until after the FIFA World Cup.
Suspension List
Fortunately, Barcelona have no suspended players for Tuesday’s match against Inter.
