Barcelona Midfielder Available Against Real Betis Amid Injury Scare

Share

Pedri Gonzalez’s untimely injury mounted the pressure on Ilkay Gundogan’s shoulders at Barcelona.

After all, he now had the added responsibility of being the team’s primary creative force in the middle of the park.

Xavi Hernandez’s plans, however, took a massive blow last night when the treble-winning captain walked off the field in tears during Germany’s game against France.

He suffered a hard fall in just the 25th minute of the game and made his way off the ground holding his back. Reports went on to state that he had suffered a bad pelvic bruise.

It has been reported that the examinations on the Barcelona midfielder have been completed and bring positive news to Xavi Hernanedez’s camp.

Gundogan appears to have made a lucky escape. According to the Barça doctors, he only suffered a knock and has no injury.

However, it remains to be seen if he is available for the weekend’s clash against Real Betis or if the manager prefers to tread the route of caution.

However, reports confidently states that the German will be available on the night.
