Bad news for FC Barcelona. The blaugrana club has used its social media to report the absence of one of its assets in the offensive field: Ferran Torres. Torres from Foios completed the match against Atletico Madrid (1-2), where he was on the field for 26 minutes, with muscular discomfort, and the severity of the injury has been confirmed.
According to the communication from FC Barcelona, it has been confirmed that Ferran Torres is dealing with a minor injury in the right calf muscle. The Catalan side reached this conclusion after the physical issues persisted, and a magnetic resonance imaging was performed to determine the extent of this unfortunate setback.
How long will Ferran Torres be out with Barcelona?
Regarding his time out, although Barcelona has only mentioned that "his recovery will determine his availability," it is expected not to be too long. Fortunately, the Christmas break will allow the 'Shark' to recover calmly and not miss much playing time.
In this regard, Ferran Torres seems to be a doubt for the 2024-25 Copa del Rey match against UD Barbastro, the first of the year to be played at the Municipal Sports Field on January 4. However, Barcelona hopes to have him available for the Spanish Super Cup on January 8 against Athletic Club.
The 'Shark' injured for the 2nd time in the 2024-25 season
It should be noted that this injury is the second one suffered by Ferran Torres in the 2024-25 season. After experiencing a physical setback (muscular injury in the right thigh hamstring) following the match against Deportivo Alaves at the beginning of October, he missed 53 days of action, absent in eight matches: three in the Champions League (Bayern Munich, Red Star Belgrade, and Stade Brestois) and five in LaLiga EA Sports (Sevilla, Real Madrid, RCD Espanyol, Real Sociedad, and Celta de Vigo).
It will be interesting to see how Ferran Torres returns, who has shown to be at a very interesting level after his comeback to the field. He scored a brace against Borussia Dortmund to turn around a match in the Champions League, leaving good impressions in his play and positioning himself as a game-changer for the '9' position.
