Malas noticias para Abde Ezzalzouli. The Moroccan, who precisely scored in the match against Osasuna in the first round with a spectacular shot with the right, have patellar tendinopathy as reported by Barça in a medical statement. No further details of the winger’s mishap were offered, which will be of drops indefinitely. That injury, however, is the one that sent Ter Stegen to the operating room, so the footballer’s concern, who was also in the process of deciding between the Spanish and Moroccan national teams, is logical.
As was logical, Abde had lost prominence in the first team in the last two months, when Barça signed Ferran, Adama and Aubameyang. Even so, Xavi has been following him in training with the first team and in the subsidiary matches, where he continued to stand out. Just a couple of weeks ago he scored a great goal against Alcoyano after an excellent drive in which he left rivals behind with feints and dribbles. Now, the winger will carry out more tests to find out the exact extent of the injury and, thus, start the recovery. The first objective is to rule out that it is a serious injury.
