Barcelona's primary full-back, João Cancelo, was unable to complete yesterday's match against Las Palmas due to an injury. He was substituted by Andreas Christensen in the 11th minute.
Most likely, the Portuguese footballer will miss Barcelona's upcoming matches in the Spanish Super Cup, as reported by Mundo Deportivo. According to preliminary information, Cancelo has a knee ligament strain. In the coming days, the defender will undergo additional tests to determine the severity of the injury.
In the current season, Cancelo has scored 3 goals and provided 2 assists in 22 matches in all competitions. He is with Barcelona on loan from Manchester City.
In the semi-finals of the Spanish Super Cup, Barcelona will face Osasuna. In the event of victory, Javi's team will compete for the trophy against the winner of the Madrid derby between Real and Atlético.
