BARCELONA (SPAIN) (ITALPRESS) – Bad news for Barcelona. During the defeat against Real Madrid, Xavi Espart sustained an injury: the 19-year-old defender has suffered “an injury to the syndesmosis of his right ankle” and will be sidelined for seven weeks. He will miss, among other matches, the clash against Atletico Madrid on November 8th; the *Blaugrana* hope to have him back in time for the Champions League fixture against Manchester City on December 8th. For Flick, this represents another defensive setback—adding to the absences of Eric Garcia, Andreas Christensen, and Jules Koundé—which had previously forced the German coach to field the same back four both at the Parc des Princes and on Sunday at the Camp Nou.
