Just in: Barcelona defender suffers discomfort in training, club confident issue not serious

In another fresh blow for Barcelona, defender Hector Bellerin felt discomfort during the training session earlier today, potentially compounding the club’s injury problems.

This claim comes from Adria Albets on Cadena SER, who states that the Catalan giants are confident that the issue with the right-back is not serious.

Barcelona have endured a torrid international break as four players have returned to the club injured while Ousmane Dembele also felt calf discomfort while away with France.

Bellerin, who was among the few first-team players to be not called up for national team duty, had been at the club and training under the watchful eyes of Xavi, along with some of other his teammates and a few prospects from the Barça Atletic squad.

However, as per the report, the summer signing felt discomfort while executing a certain manoeuvre during training which has raised alarm bells among the fans.

With Jules Kounde already sidelined for a month and Sergi Roberto also recovering from an injury, Bellerin’s issue comes as a headache for Barça as it could leave them without a right-back for the upcoming matches, especially with Ronald Araujo also out.

However, the club are reportedly confident that it is not serious.

Helena Condis is reporting that an MRI scan will be conducted tomorrow to determine the extent of the problem.

Barcelona resume their La Liga campaign at the weekend with a clash against RCD Mallorca. They will hope to have Bellerin available for the encounter.
