During the second half of their match against Deportivo Alaves, Barcelona’s star midfielder Ilkay Gundogan was taken out of the game with what appears to be a back injury. This has resulted in a significant problem for the club.

Additionally, the German was having a phenomenal game, as he had not only assisted Robert Lewandowski in scoring, but he also scored a goal in the second half with an incredible volley to double Barcelona’s lead.

In spite of the fact that Alaves scored a goal of their own shortly after that through Samu, the most significant cause for concern for Barcelona came eight minutes after that, when Gundo began rubbing his back and sat down on the field.

It was Xavi who made the substitution, and Vitor Roque was the one who ended up scoring the third goal.

There are already a number of players missing from Barcelona’s roster, but Gundogan’s injury is a particularly devastating blow because the senior midfielder has been, without a doubt, the team’s finest player so far this season.

In light of the fact that Andreas Christensen is currently serving as a pivot for Barcelona, this is the very last thing that the club required, and it is yet unknown how this story will evolve over the course of this week.
