Barcelona’s attack line is getting bigger, Ferran Torres is injured at La Roja

Gilabola.com – Barcelona’s attack line is increasingly short of people. The Catalan team confirmed that Ferran Torres will miss the match against Girona due to overload on his hamstring.

Preventive measure

However, in this regard, Barcelona also stated that Torres’ absence from the weekend’s match was decided purely as a precautionary measure.

The 25-year-old forward is still experiencing discomfort from overloading his left hamstring, which he suffered during the recent international break.

“First team player, Ferran Torres, will miss tomorrow’s match against Girona as a precautionary measure because he is experiencing discomfort due to overload in the hamstring of his left leg, which he experienced during the international break,” said Barca’s official statement.

Torres did return from the Spanish National Team training camp early due to this problem. Both Barcelona and the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) clarified that the injury suffered by the player was ‘overload of the hamstring muscle of the left leg without any associated injury’.

However, the discomfort continued, so he was unable to recover in time to appear in the match against Girona in Montjuïc.

Impact on Barcelona’s Attack Line

Torres’ absence certainly adds to the challenges that Hansi Flick is already facing, because he will have a limited choice of players in the attack line.

Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski are currently still absent. As a result, Barcelona now has fewer experienced players in attack.

Apart from Lamine Yamal, only Marcus Rashford and Roony Bardghji are currently available for the front line.

Meanwhile, Dani Olmo and Fermin Lopez should be additional options in this line. However, Olmo is still struggling to heal the injury he suffered, and Fermin has also just returned to training after being absent for several weeks due to a similar physical problem.

Now, Flick must really carefully consider his choice of players on the front lines, because the Blaugrana will resume their competition after the international break in October.

The German manager also has to manage the workload of his recently returned players, while ensuring that the team can appear attacking when they face Girona.
