Braithwaite and Sergi Roberto finish the game 'touched'

The victory for the minimum against Getafe (2-1) also had physical consequences among the FC Barcelona squad. Both Martin Braithwaite and Sergi Roberto had to withdraw early due to setbacks. The one that is less serious, at first, is that of the youth squad, who ended up with a “rib fissure”, according to the club. As AS has learned, the expected time of withdrawal is about two weeks, so it could be recovered after the national team stoppage, and especially if the postponement of the match against Sevilla at the Sánchez Pizjuán on September 11 is confirmed.

More concern in medical services is in the case of Martin Braithwaite. The Danish forward requested the change after noticing some discomfort in his left knee. In the absence of the tests that determine the extent of the injury, from FC Barcelona it was reported that they had already contacted the doctors of the Danish Federation in order to manage this situation, as Braithwaite had to leave next week with his national team.

In any case, we will have to wait for the definitive tests to be able to make a more accurate diagnosis and prognosisAlthough the first sensations, as AS has learned, are not very positive.

Braithwaite's discharge is undoubtedly a serious setback for Koeman, since he still cannot count on Ansu Fati or Kun AgüeroAlthough the first could reappear in three weeks if everything evolves as planned, that is, for the game against Granada on September 19 or against Cádiz three days later.
