Shock for FC Barcelona: Marc Casado fails for weeks due to knee injury!

Shock message for FC Barcelona and the Spanish national team! The 21-year-old midfielder Marc Casado suffered a severe ligament tear in his right knee during the rousing 4-2 victory against Atletico Madrid. According to the reports by Toni Juanmarti from Laola1, the talented player has to expect an absence of at least two months, which also excludes him for the upcoming Nation League quarter-finals against the Netherlands. Casado was on the pitch for 67 minutes before he was replaced by Eric Garcia after injured in a collision with Antoine Griezmann.

The injury comes at a critical time for Casado, who has established itself this season as a permanent fixture in the team under coach Hansi Flick. This season he already played 36 games, scored a goal and delivered six templates. His achievements were also recognized by the Spanish national team, where he last made his debut in November. But now he was painted out of the squad, which means a serious gap. For him, Aleix Garcia was nominated by Bayer Leverkusen, while Inigo Martinez was also unable to compete for the Nations League due to knee scattering, as the New York Times reports.

nomination and team changes

The absence of Casado and Martinez means that Dean Huijsen von Bournemouth now receives his first A team nomination for the Spanish national team. This shows how quickly the situation can change and the challenges that the coaches face when key players are. Casado's injury has negative episodes for FC Barcelona, ​​but also offers other players the chance to prove themselves and step into the footsteps of a rising star. It remains to be seen how the Catalans and the national team will beat without their injured players.
