Ferran Torres set to miss Barcelona title run-in after appendicitis surgery
- Barcelona forward Ferran Torres underwent successful appendicitis surgery on Wednesday at the Hospital de Barcelona.
- Torres needed surgery after falling ill following his three-assist performance in Barcelona's crucial Clasico win over Real Madrid on Sunday.
- The 25-year-old Spaniard, a key squad member with 19 goals and 7 assists this season, is set to miss Barcelona's remaining La Liga matches including the decisive derby against Espanyol.
- Recovery from appendix surgery typically takes around two weeks, meaning Torres should be rested for Barcelona’s pre-season training in July, though no return timeline was given.
- Torres' absence means Barcelona will rely on alternatives like Robert Lewandowski to secure the 2024-25 La Liga title, which they can clinch with a win against Espanyol on Thursday.
