Joao Cancelo Set to Miss Barcelona’s Super Cup Semi-Final Clash Against Osasuna Due to Knee Injury
According to Mundo Deportivo, Joao Cancelo is set to be absent from Barcelona’s Super Cup semi-final against Osasuna, having sustained a knee injury during Barca’s recent 2-1 victory over Las Palmas. Although the injury was initially not considered severe enough to rule him out of the Supercopa squad, the Portuguese fullback’s participation in the semi-final remains uncertain.
While the injury doesn’t preclude Cancelo from potentially featuring in Saudi Arabia before Barcelona’s departure, it hinges on Xavi’s men securing a spot in the final where they are slated to face Real Madrid.
In the aftermath of the injury, Cancelo was observed undergoing individual training on Wednesday, indicating that he has yet to rejoin group training sessions. The evolving situation underscores the uncertainty surrounding his availability for the imminent Super Cup clash against Osasuna and raises questions about his potential role in the tournament, pending Barcelona’s progression to the final.
