Piqué withdraws due to discomfort

Bad news for Xavi Hernández who had to substitute Gerard Piqué in the 23rd minute after a fortuitous slip that forced him to open his legs too much, causing a puncture in the adductor of his left leg. The defender, who had already slipped on two previous occasions, was not comfortable and asked for a change, aware that things could get worse.

Xavi reacted quickly and warmed up Clement Lenglet, who quickly entered the field. The club has issued a medical report: “The first team player Gerard Piqué has some discomfort in the adductor of his left leg. Tests are pending to find out the exact extent of the injury.”

It must be remembered that Piqué has been complaining of discomfort in the adductors for some time, so the extent of this new injury will have to be seenalthough the fact that he asked for the change so quickly does not bode well.
