The injury crisis that Barcelona is experiencing continues to worsen, with the most recent example being the need for the defender Cancelo to leave the field after only ten minutes of play.
After only ten minutes of action, Joao Cancelo sustained an injury during the match between Barcelona and Las Palmas that took place in round 19 of the La Liga competition. To allow the medical staff to take charge of the situation, the Portuguese defender was removed from the game.
A starting lineup for Barcelona’s first La Liga encounter of 2024, which was against Las Palmas, was announced, and Cancelo was included in that lineup. On the other hand, the Manchester City defender who was on loan was only able to play for ten minutes before being replaced by Andreas Christensen due to a leg injury.
After moving from Manchester City in the summer of 2023, Cancelo has become a significant player for the squad. Xavi is hoping that Cancelo’s injury is not serious because the Portuguese international has become an important player for the team. This multi-talented linebacker has developed into a player. As a member of the team, the athlete is a regular contributor, playing both right-back and left-back positions. It has been reported that Barcelona is interested in retaining Cancelo until the conclusion of the current season, when his loan contract would come to an end.There has not been a single one of Barcelona’s seven away matches in La Liga that they have won. Three of their matches ended in a draw, while they were defeated in four of them. The performance of the Catalan club is extremely unsteady, and if Cancelo, a major player, is absent, Barcelona will really be in a difficult situation that cannot be solved because of this.
When it comes to his playing style, Joao Cancelo, a Portuguese defender, is well-known for his versatility and versatility. Cancelo is considered to be one of the best full-backs in the world due to his ability to play both a strong defense and a rapid attack.
It is not uncommon for him to play the position of full-back; nevertheless, his attacking skills and personal technique are also quite exceptional. Depending on the requirements of the team, Cancelo is able to play on either side of the field. Not only is he capable of making perfect passes with the ball, but he also has the ability to create opportunities for his teammates and score goals from predetermined circumstances.
In the aftermath of the encounter, Barcelona is anticipated to provide an update regarding Cancelo’s injury. Another match for the Catalan team is scheduled to take place on January 8 (Vietnam time), and it will be against Barbastro in the Copa del Rey.
