Barcelona have been dealt a significant setback just days before their pre-season tour of Asia, as one of the club’s most promising young stars has suffered a serious injury, ruling him out of the squad’s upcoming trip.
The news comes as a huge disappointment to new head coach Hansi Flick, who had reportedly earmarked the player as a crucial part of his tactical plans for the upcoming season. The German tactician was eager to assess the youngster in competitive pre-season action, hoping to integrate him into the first-team setup.

Barça fans will now be anxiously awaiting further updates on the injury and recovery timeline, while Flick and his staff will have to consider alternative options ahead of a demanding tour and season
