Press reports revealed that the team Barcelona Its traditional rival, Real Madrid, is seeking to overcome the injury crisis of more than one star in their ranks during the recent international break, when they resume their journey in the Spanish League championship for the current season.
The wheel of the Spanish League returns to turning, as the fourteenth round of La Liga begins, and Barcelona is a guest of Rayo Vallecano, on Saturday, and suffers from absences, most notably Gavi, who was injured during his recent participation with the Spanish national team in the qualifiers for the European Nations Cup Euro 2024.
German goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen was also injured in the back area, with the German national team.
The Spanish newspaper “Mundo Deportivo” said that Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez does not intend to risk the participation of the team’s main goalkeeper against Vallecano, unless he is 100% ready for the confrontation.
Sergi Roberto and Dutchman Frenkie de Jong continue to be absent from the team due to injury as well.
Barcelona then prepares to face its Portuguese guest, Porto, in the fifth round of the group stage of the Champions League, next Tuesday, where the team hopes to come out with a positive result to decide its qualification for the knockout rounds of the continental competition.
Barcelona will also play two matches against its guests, Atletico Madrid and Girona, on December 3 and 10, respectively, in the next two stages of the Spanish League.
On the other hand, Real Madrid will host Cadiz next Sunday at the end of the 14th round matches.
Real Madrid suffered from several influential injuries during the last pause, as it struck Brazilian Vinicius Junior, who will miss two and a half months, due to a tear in the biceps femoris muscle and an injury to the distal tendon in his left leg.
Real Madrid is also missing the services of Frenchman Eduardo Camavinga, who was injured with the France national team.
Englishman Jude Bellingham also left the England national team camp due to a shoulder injury, with the continued absence of the long-injured trio of Thibaut Courtois, Eder Militao and Arda Guler, while the position of goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga appears ambiguous in light of his failure to completely recover from the injury he suffered.
Girona also seeks to continue its exceptional start and stay on top in its match with Athletic Bilbao, which is in fifth place with 24 points, and which aspires to continue its awakening by achieving its third victory in a row.
Girona aims to continue its uprising in the tournament by achieving its sixth victory in a row, as it has only known the language of victory since its only loss in the tournament this season at home to Real Madrid.
