Official: Barcelona confirm forward out for ten days with muscle strain

FC Barcelona announced the squad list for their UEFA Champions League game against Slavia Prague a while back, with some notable absences.

One such player whose name was missing from the squad travelling to Czechia for the league-phase encounter happens to be forward Ferran Torres.

In a medical announcement, Barcelona have confirmed that the Spanish international’s absence is because of a muscle strain, which will keep him out for ten days.

“Raphinha has been medically cleared, while Ferran Torres has a strain in the semimembranosus muscle of his right leg and is out, with an approximate recovery time of about ten days,” the Blaugrana announced.

An absence of ten days means that Ferran will not only miss tomorrow’s Champions League clash against Slavia Prague, but he is also ruled out of the weekend’s La Liga clash against Real Oviedo.

It remains to be seen whether Ferran, who has scored 15 goals this season, makes it back in time for next week’s European clash against FC Copenhagen at the Spotify Camp Nou.

In Ferran’s absence, Robert Lewandowski will be tasked with leading the line as Barcelona’s No. 9.
