The pre-season of the FC Barcelona has begun with good feelings in the sportive, but to the changing room already have arrived some warnings in shape of injury. Sergi Samper remained out of the announcement of Ernesto Valverde even before taking the aeroplane, and this Sunday added Denis Suárez and André Gomes after the friendly against the Tottenham in the International Champions Cup.
Neither the Galician neither the Portuguese could reach the half hour of game and were substituted by both problems in the biceps femoral of his left thighs. From the first moment certified that the case of the Spanish was something less grave that the one of his mate, and finally the medical proofs have confirmed this forecast.
The one of Salceda of Caselas will be around three weeks of drop, what would leave him out of the Supercopa of Spain and of the Trophy Joan Gamper. If they fulfil the estimates of the Barcelona group, the first list in which it could be would be the first of LaLiga, foreseen for the weekend of the 18 and on 19 August.
This supposes a hard hit for Denis, that had like aim convince to Ernesto Valverde during turns it American. The past year, the ex of the Manchester City did not attain to consolidate like alternative for the technician, and with several friendly to his disposal looked forward to to do that it changed of opinion and guaranteeed him more minutes like important member in the rotations. His challenge will have to expect.
André Gomes, indefinite drop for the Barça
The case of André Gomes is more peculiar, because the Barça has listed him like indefinite drop specifying that "his evolution will mark the return to the trainings". According to an information published by 'RAC1' hours after his mishap, the one of Grijó could be until two months without being able to step the terrains of game, although the last informations signal that it could recortarse until the four or five weeks, with some more favourable perspectives.
It is possible that the absence of a time of concrete drop was due to that the culés still have not decided on the future of the midfield player, and to that resist to give his course by stray. There are several options on the table to confirm the exit of one of the descartes of the staff, although the fact to be 'broken' complicates enormously the planning. It remains little more than a month to seal the answer on this subject.
