It seems like a joke but it is not. The injuries at Barça are real. After Andreas Christensen's injury in Champions League, the club have confirmed that Franck Kessie has a strained adductor muscle in his right thigh. This way, he has to be out of action for some time.
"The player of the first team, Franck Kessie, has a strained adductor muscle in his right thigh. His recovery will dictate his return," Barça said in their social media. Fans have complained about the team's bad luck.
Kessié's injury is the latest after Frenkie de Jong (left leg), Ronald Araujo (right thigh), Jules Kounde (left thigh), Hector Bellerin (left leg), Memphis Depay and Christensen (left ankle).
As a result of this situation, Xavi Hernandez will have a headache choosing the line-up for their match against Celta Vigo in the Spanish League. It will also be complicated for the Champions League group stage clash against Inter, a fundamental encounter for Barça's progress in European competitions this term.
