Barcelona Worried About Gerard Pique Injury Condition

DBasia.news – Defeat is not the only bad news that Barcelona receives when they travel to Atletico Madrid’s headquarters in the 2020-2021 LaLiga continuation. The Blaugrana is currently awaiting clarification regarding Gerard Pique’s injury condition.

In a match that took place at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium on Sunday (22/11), Barcelona had to admit the hosts’ superiority with a thin score of 1-0. The only goal for Atletico’s victory was scored by Yannick Carrasco in the first half of injury time.

It was Barcelona’s third defeat in their last five LaLiga matches. Their position also plunged into 10th place in the standings.

The situation got worse after Pique suffered an injury during the game one hour. The 33 year old player looked very sick and could not continue the match.

Concerns about the severity of Pique’s injury have not been proven for the time being. Barcelona’s mainstay center-back only experienced a slight problem in his knee.

However, Pique will undergo further tests once he returns to Barcelona. From this it will be known how badly the injury was.

“Gerard Pique’s right knee dislocated. The Barca center-back is waiting for further tests to confirm the level of his injury after the collision with Atletico striker Correa forced him to leave the pitch,” read a Barcelona official statement.

Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman certainly hopes Pique will not suffer significant injuries. If not, his team’s defense is in danger.

Pique has indeed become the most senior player in Barcelona’s defense. Without him it would be a big loss for the Catalunya team.
