Ferran Torres injury confirmed, Barça considering Frenkie de Jong exit next summer

A round-up of the latest Barcelona news and rumors

Tests carried out on the first team player Ferran Torres confirm that he has an injury to the biceps femoris muscle in his right thigh. His return to training will be dependent on his recovery.

Barça Atlètic have drawn away from home for the second time in a row after a fascinating contest this Sunday at Sestao. Things began with an early goal from Unai following a lovely passing move, and on a difficult playing surface Barça continued to control the early minutes. But Sestao River slowly got more and more involved, and eventually started warming the gloves of debutant goalkeeper Eder Aller.

Barcelona coach Hansi Flick lauded the “unbelievable” attack of Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha and Lamine Yamal after the LaLiga leader’s 3-0 win at Alavés on Sunday.

Hansi Flick has made a terrific start to life as manager of Barcelona. The Catalans have won nine of their opening 11 matches across all competitions, and at the second international break of the season, they lead the way in La Liga – three points ahead of bitter rivals Real Madrid.

The last 11 months have been incredibly difficult for Gavi. Last November, he sustained a serious knee injury while playing for Spain – since then, he has been on the long road to recovery, although it is finally almost over.

Recently, Hansi Flick commented on the outstanding commitment levels that have been shown by Barcelona defender Jules Kounde. The French international has been noted for never wanting to be rested, so it is no surprise that he has played almost every minute for the Catalans this season.

To avoid losing Frenkie de Jong for free in 2026, Barça are considering parting with the midfielder next summer.
