In Barcelona's recent 5-2 victory over Crvena Zvezda, central defender Pau Cubarsi suffered a gruesome injury. Opponent captain Uroš Spajić caught the 17-year-old Spaniard's face with his studs, resulting in a wound that required 10 stitches. However, Cubarsi is already eager to return to action.
Details: According to Fernando Polo, Cubarsi has asked Barcelona to find him a special protective mask that would allow him to play in the upcoming La Liga match against Real Sociedad.
The medical team has yet to make a final decision. They plan to assess his condition tomorrow before giving their verdict.
Due to his injury, Cubarsi was left out of Spain’s squad for the upcoming UEFA Nations League matches.
Reminder: Barcelona is disappointed that their planned match against Atlético in Miami will not take place.
