FC Barcelona has confirmed this Wednesday the loss due to injury to Franck Kessié, who joins the Barça infirmary with an elongation in the adductor of his right thigh, while Andreas Christensen suffers a sprain in his left ankle after the tests carried out.

“The injury took place in training this Wednesday morning at the Ciudad Deportiva Joan Gamper”, the Catalan side explained about the Ivorian midfielder, who played the last minutes of the game yesterday at the San Siro against Inter , entering the 83rd minute in Gavi’s position.

In this way, Kessié joins a long list of injured. The last victim was Andreas Christensen, with a sprain in his left ankle after being substituted against the Italians in the 58th minute for Gerard Piqué.

Frenchman Jules Koundé is also injured in the biceps femoris and is trying to hurry to get to the clash with Real Madrid, for which Xavi could only have Eric García and Gerard Piqué as central defenders.

Ronald Araújo, Memphis Depay and Héctor Bellerín are also still in the infirmary, while Frenkie de Jong is already training with the group and could be available for next Sunday’s match against Celta in LaLiga.
