MThe news for Ronald Koeman. In a decisive week in which Barcelona plays a good part of its options both in the League and in the Champions League, the issue of injuries continues to plague the Barça team. Although against Valencia he was able to recover Kun Agüero and Balde, for the next two games against Dinamo Kiev and Real Madrid he will not be able to count on Pedri, Araujo or Dembélé.
The coach already knew that it was very difficult for him to have any of the three for the game this Wednesday against the Ukrainian team, but he housed the hope to have at least one of them to face Real Madrid. It will not be so. Although there are still six days to go and there is time for improvement, the technical staff already know that none of the three will be recovered.
Doctors go with great caution in all three cases and they don’t want to risk a relapse. Dembélé He has been doing part of the training with the group for several sessions, but it is still early. Koeman said at the press conference that the footballer should work harder to be ready to reappear. The Frenchman’s injury history requires great caution. Dembélé has been injured for four months.
With Araujo you also have to be careful. Since he debuted with Barcelona he has already had three muscle injuries This requires paying close attention to the recovery of the footballer who tends to injure himself too often. For this reason, the Uruguayan is doing specific work so as not to relapse from your injury. He needs time and he doesn’t get to the Classic either.
The same as Pedri. The canary has had two muscle injuries in these two months that we have been in competition. Yes last season he was one of the footballers that Koeman used the most, in this he is not following the same fate. Pedri denies that these injuries are a consequence of the large number of games he has accumulated both in his team and in the national team, but the reality is that he is again stopped due to a muscle injury in the quadriceps of the left thigh.
