Barcelona’s Defensive Woes Continue: Joao Cancelo Suffers Knee Injury Against Las Palmas
In the midst of ongoing injury woes for Barcelona, the Catalans faced another setback in their clash with Las Palmas on Thursday evening. Defender Joao Cancelo, a key performer for the team since his loan move from Manchester City, suffered a knee injury early in the match, raising concerns for the club already grappling with multiple absentees.
The Portuguese player attempted to play through the discomfort but eventually had to be substituted, with Andreas Christensen taking his place on the field. The severity of Cancelo’s injury is yet to be determined, leaving Barcelona anxiously awaiting further assessments.
This unfortunate development adds to Barcelona’s existing injury list, which includes long-term absentee Gavi, along with Pedri, Marc-Andre Ter Stegen, Inigo Martinez, and Marcos Alonso. With a crucial schedule of fixtures ahead, Barcelona will be hoping for positive news regarding Cancelo’s condition as they navigate through a challenging period.
