FC Barcelona midfielder Rodri injury

Overview

FC Barcelona midfielder Rodri Hernández sustained a muscle injury during a Champions League match against Aston Villa, which resulted in a 3:0 victory for the club. Coach Hansi Flick reported that the player experienced discomfort in his right hamstring during the game, resulting in a preventive substitution at halftime for Marc Bernal.

Medical examinations confirmed a minor injury to the biceps femoris in his right leg. The club has officially ruled him out for the upcoming La Liga match against Atlético de Madrid. While the club has not provided a specific recovery timeline, stating that it will depend on the evolution of the injury, reports suggest he could be sidelined for approximately one month.

A prolonged absence would prevent the 30-year-old midfielder, who is the 2024 Ballon d'Or winner, from participating in upcoming fixtures against Villarreal and Sabah in the Champions League, as well as Spain’s Nations League matches against the Czech Republic and England. Since joining Barcelona from Manchester City earlier this year in a 60 million euro transfer, Rodri has made 14 appearances, contributing one goal and one assist.

Hansi Flick may need to adjust midfield tactics using options such as Marc Bernal, Frenkie de Jong, or Gavi. This absence occurs while Barcelona holds a two-point lead in La Liga over Atlético Madrid.
