Due to a facial injury sustained during the Champions League that required ten stitches, Barcelona defender Pau Cubarsi is presently out of commission for Sunday’s La Liga match against Real Sociedad.
After getting kicked in the face in Belgrade, Cubarsi was forced off, and the team’s medical personnel then stitched him back together.
The adolescent is excited to play against La Real, according to Diario AS, but the team is being careful and isn’t yet certain if he can make the squad.
Barca will wait to see how he recovers over the next few days before making a decision since they are worried that there is a chance the injury could reopen.
If Cubarsi is passed fit, he will not play with a mask. According to the article, wearing such protection is “not advisable” for this specific injury; however, he might require some sort of dressing.
Hansi Flick may substitute Hector Fort on the right and move Jules Kounde to center-back, or he may bring in Sergi Domínguez if Cubarsi is unable to play.
While the defender’s toughness has been praised in the past, the severity of this injury will likely require him to undergo further tests, and his participation in the match will depend on how quickly he can recover.
Barcelona fans are rallying behind the young talent, hoping for a swift recovery, but for now, Cubarsi’s involvement in the next match remains uncertain.
