Serious injury wave! Every body: Barcelona will play against Real Madrid, but currently nine people including Lewand Lafite are injured

According to statistics from "Daily Sports", Barcelona, ​​which is about to usher in the El Clasico, currently has as many as nine players suffering from injuries or physical discomfort. This makes coach Flick stretched when preparing for the next devilish schedule against Girona, Olympiakos and Real Madrid.

The latest injured is forward Ferran. He will miss this weekend's league match with Girona due to muscle overload, but he is expected to return to the Champions League in the middle of next week. The good news is that both Fermin and Yamal, who were previously injured, will return to the squad for this game, but coach Flick made it clear that both of them are "not ready to play the full 90 minutes."

What is even more worrying is the situation of several core players. Winger Raphinha's recovery has seen ups and downs, and while the club still has "a certain degree of optimism" for him to catch up with El Clasico, the situation is unclear. Another attacker Olmo is also doubtful due to injury.

The biggest blow is the injury of the team's main center Lewandowski. He was diagnosed with a torn biceps femoris muscle in his left thigh after playing for the Polish national team. Although the club has not announced the specific time of the injury, based on common sense, he is likely to have to wait until the national team match day in November to return.

In addition, the team has two key players on the long-term injury list. Goalkeeper Ter Stegen will not return until the end of the year at the earliest after undergoing back surgery. Midfielder Garvey's recovery has encountered a major setback. After undergoing arthroscopic surgery, his recovery time was extended from the initial four to five weeks to four to five months. It is expected that he will not be able to return to the game until the end of February next year at the earliest.
