Hard blow: Barça loses a full-back to injury – FC Barcelona

FC Barcelona who announced the absence of a full-back who will not be present for the next meeting.

Tonight, FC Barcelona will face Real Sociedad in their La Liga match. While the focus was on Lamine Yamal, who did not participate in yesterday’s training with the team, as well as Dani Olmo, who was ill, another player is also absent: right-back Hector Fort will not be part of the squad that will travel to Anoeta to challenge Real Sociedad.

A color to the spine

According to the club press release, Hector Fort suffered an injury to his sacrum, which is made up of the five sacral vertebrae located at the bottom of the spine. No additional information was provided regarding the duration of his absence. This announcement is rather unexpected, especially since the defender had participated without problem in training yesterday, the day before the match. This is bad news for Hansi Flick, who has one less element for the match against Real Sociedad. As a reminder, Hector Fort has played 288 minutes in 8 games this season and even started last Sunday on the Espanyol pitch during Barça’s 3-1 victory in the Catalan derby.
