Injuries devastate Barcelona, ​​which loses Kun and Piqué for the match ball in Kiev

A skinny dog ​​is all fleas. That’s what Barça fans must have thought when in the middle of a new night to be forgotten against Alavés, Sergio Agüero first and Gerard Piqué later had to leave the pitch due to different injuries. The Argentine retired before the break due to a small tachycardia that made him spend the night in the hospital, while the center-back suffered an overload on his right leg and is a serious doubt for the Champions League match against Dynamo Kiev.

With these two casualties, the Barça infirmary is back on top. Kun, who remains awaiting a cardiology study, joins the long list of casualties that Sergi already had before the game against Alavés. Ousmane Dembélé, Araujo, Frenkie de Jong, Ansu Fati, Martin Braithwaite and Pedri were not against those of Javi Calleja and it is practically impossible for any of them to be 100% this Tuesday given the proximity of both meetings.

This long list of absences rains on wet. Since the start of the season, Barça has not been able to count on the starting eleven that was expected at any time when Leo Messi and Antoine Griezmann left the Blaugrana entity. The plague of injuries has been especially damaging in attack, where casualties have not stopped accumulating. Dembélé continues unpublished this season and Braithwaite, Agüero and Ansu Fati count more games as absent than being from the game.

This new plague of injuries will force Sergi to improvise a new eleven of circumstances. Lenglet, Nico, Gavi, Coutinho or Luuk de Jong could be in the game on the day that Barça plays being or not being in the Champions League.
