Alarm in Barcelona. The key player falls out at the most important moment of the season

Sergio Busquets has been playing in the first team of FC Barcelona since 2009 and has already won all the major trophies with the club. The midfielder is already 34 years old, but Xavi sees him as a first-team player in many matches. That was the case with Sevilla, but it ended badly.

Sergio Busquets injured. A break awaits him at an important moment for FC Barcelona

Already in the fourth minute of the meeting, Serio Busquets clashed with the striker of rivals Youssef En Nesyrim. The Barcelona midfielder tackled the ball, but was stepped right on the ankle. For a long time he did not get up from the turf. The incident turned out to be so dangerous that Busquets had to leave the pitch with a clear grimace of pain. In his place, coach Xavi brought in Franck Kessie.

Even before the end of the meeting, the Spanish media informed about the health of the 34-year-old. According to Cadena Ser, Busquest may be out for two or three weeks. Thus, he would miss the next two games – against Villarreal in the league and the first game of the LE against Manchester United. These are two key games for Barcelona in both competitions. Monday’s tests will assess the degree of ankle sprain and give a final answer on this topic.

The first match between FC Barcelona and Manchester United in the 1/8 Europa League is scheduled for Thursday, February 16 at 18:45. A possible loss of Serio Busquets would certainly be a problem for coach Xavi. The injured coach Ousmane Dembele has only four central midfielders, as Pedri has been moved to the winger position.
