Joao Félix set off all the alarms in FC Barcelona’s victory against Shakhtar (2-1) when he had to leave injured before the conclusion of the match. The proximity of the first classic of the season against Real Madrid, this Saturday in Montjuïc, gives little room for maneuver in the event of any physical mishap. And with the infirmary full, the KO of the Portuguese striker would be a very important setback for Xavi.
The Blaugrana coach will surely not be able to count on Frenkie de Jong , Sergi Roberto , Pedri and Jules Koundé . And he remains to see if he can get Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski back. In any case, neither of them would be able to play the full 90 minutes and it remains to be seen if they can start .
In this scenario, silence fell on Montjuïc when Joao Félix went to the ground asking for a change. The club has not yet offered any medical report, but the footballer himself was in charge of reassuring all the culers through his social networks.
Joao Félix posted a story on his official Instagram account in which he confirmed his presence in the classic against Real Madrid. The Portuguese striker posted a photograph leaving the Montjuïc pitch, but with a positive message.
“I’m fine! It was just a blow! Recover and prepare for the next game”, was the declaration of intentions of Joao Félix who is waiting for the duel against Real Madrid to definitively claim to be one of the references of the new Barça that Xavi is building.
