Gerard Piqué had to withdraw from the pitch after a bad fall in a crash with an opponent in the dispute of an aerial divided ball. At first, because of how the left hip was touched, it seemed that the problems were limited to that area, but later, from the club, it was reported that the player was substituted for some discomfort in the soleus of the left leg.
It should be remembered that Piqué came to this match dragging some discomfort in the calf of the right leg, so we are talking about a totally different injury And that has nothing to do with the problems I had in the last week.
❗ MEDICAL RELEASE

This Sunday they will carry out the pertinent tests to confirm the extent of the injury and give a more specific diagnosis and prognosis of it.
In any case, remember that If he does not finally arrive for the game next Sunday, Koeman will have to get hold of a new pair of centrals, since he will not be able to count on Eric García either, after being sent off with a direct red card. Right now everything points to the couple Ronald Araújo and Clement Lenglet, with Óscar Mingueza in the bedroom, waiting for him to receive medical discharge.
