FC Barcelona is already beginning to suffer from its first headaches of the season with regard to injuries. First they were Jules Koundé, who suffers an injury to the femoral biceps of the left thigh; and Ronald Araújo, who will undergo surgery to treat an avulsion of the adductor longus tendon of the right thigh. Now they are Memphis Depay, Frenkie De Jong and Héctor Bellerín.
According to medical tests, Memphis suffers an injury to the femoral biceps of the left thigh; while De Jong presents an elongation in the semitendinosus of the same thigh.
The Dutch internationals suffered these muscular ailments in the Nations League match that their team played against Poland last Thursday. Neither of them participated in the victory that the Netherlands signed on Sunday (1-0) against Belgium, which served to qualify for the final phase of the European competition.
In the case of Bellerín, who of the five injured is the only one who was not on the FIFA date, he suffers an injury to the soleus of the left leg. His time off would be two weeks.
The four footballers, who were injured with their respective national teams, did not exercise in the training session that Barcelona held this Monday at the Ciudad Deportiva Joan Gamper . The presence of the internationals Ousmane Dembélé, Robert Lewandowski and Andreas Christensen was the main novelty in the first training session of the week.
Barcelona, who will face Mallorca this Saturday at the Camp Nou, is in second place in the LaLiga standings with 16 points; product of five wins and one draw. Real Madrid, for its part, leads the standings with the ideal score in the six matchdays.
