Barca Defensive Blow - Xavi Espart Out Until Next Year After Suffering Ankle Damage in Hard Aurelien Tchouameni Challenge
Barcelona said the 19-year-old defender suffered syndesmosis damage after a collision and will miss key LaLiga and Champions League matches.
- On Monday, Barcelona confirmed that defender Xavi Espart will miss seven weeks of action after sustaining a syndesmosis joint injury in his right ankle during Sunday's El Clasico defeat to Real Madrid.
- The 19-year-old sustained the damage in the 30th minute following a robust sliding challenge from Aurelien Tchouameni, attempting to play through the pain before being forced off the field.
- Barcelona's defensive resources are severely stretched with Espart joining Jules Kounde, Eric Garcia, Andreas Christensen, and Dani Olmo on the injury list, leaving only four defenders available for selection.
- Espart will miss upcoming fixtures including Saturday's match against Alaves, the November 3 Champions League clash with Aston Villa, and the November 8 trip to Atletico Madrid.
- Before the injury, Espart had been enjoying a breakout season for the LaLiga leaders, contributing to four goals with two strikes and two assists after Coach Hansi Flick reconverted him into a full-back.
