"World Sports" reported that Barcelona players wanted to use a victory to their seriously injured teammate Garvey.
Barcelona will challenge Real Oviedo away early tomorrow morning, and the team hopes to dedicate a victory to Garvey. After undergoing an arthroscopy to eliminate meniscus discomfort on the medial right knee, the examination shows that the damage in the area is much worse than expected and requires meniscus suture, which will result in him being out of the season for almost the entire season. The injury to the Barcelona midfielder was a mental blow to him and the entire locker room, and the team hopes to dedicate this important three-pointer to him.
Barcelona's injury list is beginning to become quite considerable. Although Flick has been able to arrange his troops without restrictions so far and even manage the players' playing time, the situation has changed a little now, because just two days before Garvey received the surgery, Ferming confirmed that he would be injured for three weeks. In other words, there are two important players absent in the midfield position. Fortunately, the midfield position is the position with the thickest lineup.
In the next game until the national team match day, there is no Felmin, and Flick will have Pedri, De Jong, Casador and Bernal available in the midfield base position, but in principle, in the attacking midfield position, basically only Olmo is available, and the other option is to place Rafinia behind the front line, an option Frick has tried against Levante. On the
defense line, Barde may return against Real Sociedad. And on the front line, Yamal is struggling to prepare for next week's match against Paris Saint-Germain. With this injury report, Frick still has room to allocate players' consumption in the next game (Oviedo, Real Sociedad, Paris Saint-Germain and Sevilla).
Due to the urgency brought by Real Madrid's six-game winning streak at the start of the league, Barcelona cannot lose in Oviedo, which is a difficult away game for Barcelona in history. The last time Barcelona played away in Oviedo dates back to January 7, 2001, the 17th round of the league. Barcelona, coached by Ferrer, won 3-2, but in the 36th round of the same season, Barcelona, who was taken over by Rexac, lost 0-1 at home.
Oviedo has been difficult to conquer at home. In the past 38 away matches against Oviedo in the league, Barcelona has only won eleven times, tied seven times, and lost twenty times. Therefore, although the opponent is a team that has just been promoted to La Liga, this game cannot be taken lightly.
