Barca News
Barcelona does not give a foothold. The team has been suffering from injuries among its ranks all season, but the problem has worsened in recent weeks. Right now there are seven players out due to injury in the Barça squad .
The last to join was Alejandro Balde , who withdrew from the Spanish team’s match against Scotland due to groin discomfort. The tests he underwent this Friday in Barcelona reveal that it is not a serious injury. “Discomfort in the adductor,” says the Barcelona statement. .
The Spanish international is one more in the extensive list of injured Barça players.
Xavi ‘s idea is to gradually recover troops. The big goal is to be able to count on one of them for the Classic , although no risk will be taken.
If there is no surprise, it is expected that upon returning from the national team break, Pedri and Lamine Yamal will be able to start working with the group and, if all goes well, they will be ready for the match against Athletic Club .
Raphinha and Lewandowski have it more difficult . For that match they are practically ruled out. Their fight is to reach the Classic on October 28, although it is a complicated goal. The Pole admitted that his recovery is going better than expected , but he doesn’t want to throw his hat in the ring either. Pushing for a game that only represents three points is an unnecessary risk at this point in the season.
Ruled out are De Jong and Koundé , whose injuries will keep them in dry dock, presumably, until next month.

Pedri (4-6 weeks): rectus femoris of the right thigh.
