The inconvenience that forced Ilkay Gündogan to leave the field of play at AT&T Stadium has not gone any further. He is not injured and everything seems to indicate that, despite the latest information, he will not miss the remaining game of the pre-season tour of the United States, against AC Milan, nor the Joan Gamper Trophy against Tottenham. The Teutonic midfielder has confirmed that he is not suffering from anything serious.
It is worth remembering that, during the first half of the game, Gündogan received a tough challenge from Aurelién Tchouameni, which cost the Frenchman a yellow card. He decided to continue, despite the fact that he had discomfort in his right adductor, but ended up asking for the change before the break. Sergi Roberto came in to replace him and all the alarms went off, but in the end there are no major consequences.
Gundogan speaks on his social networks
To deny the rumors about a possible injury, the 32-year-old midfielder responded to a post on Twitter confirming that it is nothing serious. “Don’t worry, it’s not that bad” said the player after being asked if he was alright. Thus, it is expected that he will be available for the match against AC Milan, although it is very likely that Xavi will rotate his line-up to give rest to those who have played the most.
It should not be overlooked that Gündogan played the first half of the match against Arsenal and added another 42′ against Real Madrid. To avoid surprises and convince himself that there will be nothing ‘important’, the most logical thing is for the Egarense coach to leave him on the bench. There are less than two weeks left for the LaLiga debut, on August 13, and Barça needs all its players in the best possible physical condition. It is not worth risking on tour.
Don’t worry – It’s not that bad👍🏼
