OFFICIAL! FC Barcelona confirms the injury and time out of Ferran Torres

Bad news for FC Barcelona. In a week that had been filled with joy after Frenkie de Jong's return and positive vibes surrounding the recovery of key players like Dani Olmo and Pablo Gavi, the Catalan team is once again hit by a spate of injuries. Who has fallen this time into the Blaugrana infirmary? Ferran Torres.

It should be noted that the 'Shark' suffered a physical setback during last Sunday's match between the Catalan team and Deportivo Alavés (0-3). The extent and nature of this injury were unknown until now, at which point the club has provided more details about this situation through a medical statement issued on Monday morning.

"The tests conducted this morning on Ferran Torres have confirmed that he has a muscular injury in the hamstring of his right thigh. The return time to training will be determined by his recovery."

How much time will Ferran Torres miss action with FC Barcelona?

Although the FC Barcelona statement itself does not specify a specific downtime, as it has done in other cases, it is expected that the native player of Foios will be out of competition for between seven and eight weeks. It is important to remember that Ferran Torres already missed the 2023/24 season, a total of eight weeks of action, after suffering in January a hamstring injury in his right thigh during a match against CA Osasuna (0-1). Therefore, given that the current injury is a recurrence in that same area, the estimated downtime can be inferred.

With this in mind, Ferran Torres would not return to the field until late November or early December, meaning he will miss a crucial part of the season, including matches in LaLiga EA Sports against Sevilla (20/10), Real Madrid (26/10), RCD Espanyol (03/11), Real Sociedad (11/11), and Celta de Vigo (24/11). Additionally, in the UEFA Champions League, he will not be able to participate in matches against Bayern Munich (23/10), Estrella Roja (06/11), and Stade Brestois (26/11).
