After the Christmas break, Barcelona traveled to the Canary Islands to play Las Palmas in the midway point of the Spanish league season.
The team led by Garcia Pimienta took the game to Barcelona, controlling play for the majority of the first half and showcasing their incredible offensive tendencies.
Joao Cancelo suffered a knee injury in the eleventh minute of play, which prevented the blaugranes from adequately slowing down the game to their own pace. Munir el Haddadi, who scored for Las Palmas with help from another former Barcelona player, Sandro Ramirez, aided him.
Given the typical pattern of knee injuries, Cancelo was forced to hobble off the field and expressed concern that he would probably miss the majority of the second half of the season.
Cancelo had medical testing in the morning, and the results showed that he had an MCL injury on his left knee, according to a club statement. The player has been injured; his availability will depend on how well he recovers.
According to a source from SPORT, he will not travel to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia for the Spanish Super Cup with the Barcelona team, nor will he play in this weekend’s Copa del Rey match.
Barça will play Osasuna in the competition’s semifinals, and if they advance to the finals, they will play either Real Madrid or Atletico Madrid.
