Barcelona’s Pau Cubarsi Injured in Nations League Match

Rotterdam, Netherlands — Barcelona‘s Pau Cubarsi left Thursday’s Nations League match against the Netherlands with a suspected ankle injury, dealing a significant blow to the team.

Cubarsi, 21, was one of three Barcelona players included in head coach Luis de la Fuente’s starting lineup, alongside teammates Pedri and Lamine Yamal. However, his participation was cut short when he was forced off the field before halftime.

The young midfielder was replaced by Bournemouth‘s Dean Huijsen, who made his senior debut. Huijsen’s introduction adds depth to the squad but raises concerns about the status of Cubarsi as Barcelona prepares for upcoming matches.

Barcelona is now faced with an uncertain wait regarding Cubarsi’s injury, coming at a precarious moment for the team. Manager Hansi Flick is already experiencing setbacks as he is dealing with injuries to key players, including Ronald Araujo, who is unavailable due to international duty with Uruguay.

The implications of Cubarsi’s potential absence could be substantial for Barcelona in the league as they navigate through a challenging schedule. Details of his injury have yet to be confirmed, but the club will likely provide updates in the coming days.
