Pau Cubarsí took a good 'gift' from Belgrade. And not exactly the ones you are happy about, but the ones you remember for a long time and that will surely leave a visible scar for the next few days. And the center-back needed a total of ten stitches to suture the wound that the Serbian Krunic caused in his right jaw in his attempt to finish the ball, placing his boot when the youth player tried to clear the ball with his head and hitting the studs. in the face of the blaugrana. The size of the wound, with abundant blood flowing from the incision, alarmed his companions, who quickly requested medical assistance. After attending to him for a few minutes in the field, Doctor Ricard Pruna took the player into the locker room to stitch the wound quickly and prevent infection.
Right now, Cubarsí is a serious doubt to play in Sunday's LaLiga match against Real Sociedad, more than anything because there is a certainty that the scar could open, in the case of some sudden gesture, an elbow or a ball.. Given this situation, it is not ruled out that he could play with a mask. It will be in the coming days when their evolution will be assessed and decisions will be made.

If the youth player was ultimately not available, Flick could line up Jules Koundé as a central defender, accompanying Íñigo Martínez, with Héctor Fort occupying the right wing, or directly go back to betting on the young Sergio Domínguez, as he did this Wednesday against Red Star .
It must be remembered that right now, the German coach is a little short on center backs: he cannot count on Eric García, nor on Ronald Araújo and even less on Andreas Christensen, all of whom are injured. In any case, it is expected that both Eric and Araújo will be available after the national team break, at the end of November.
