La Liga giants Barcelona have this evening been dealt a blow on the personnel front.
This comes owing to developments in the club’s meeting with Borussia Dortmund.
The Blaugrana are of course currently locked in action on the continent, in a Champions League showdown at Signal Iduna Park.
As things stand, Hansi Flick’s troops find themselves in possession of a hard-fought advantage, owing to goals on the part of Raphinha, and Ferran Torres.
Amid an otherwise positive evening’s work for Barcelona to date, however, one source of concern was also forthcoming on the injury front.
This came after goalscorer Raphinha went to ground off the ball during the 2nd-half, with what appeared to be a muscular problem.
The Brazilian, in turn, was swiftly hooked from proceedings, replaced by Frenkie de Jong.
It now remains to be seen if as much came owing to any sort of significant injury, or simply as a precaution.
