Mamadou Mbacke could have said goodbye to FC Barcelona. Everything will depend on the decision made by the Barça club at the end of the season. Because the current one has already run out for the Senegalese center back after it was announced that he will have to undergo surgery next Monday.
Evidently, Mbacke misses the 4 regular league games that the Barça reserve team still have to play (Tarazona, Deportivo, Nàstic and Celta Fortuna) plus the play-off that the Barça reserve team practically has in their pocket.
At first, the injury to the left ankle that he suffered against Lugo did not seem so serious and there was even speculation that he could reach the play-off, but the check-ups determined a complete tear of the internal lateral ligament of the left ankle that They force him to undergo surgery and say goodbye to the season. A few months of sick leave await him.

This circumstance further complicates the decision that the club must make about its future. Mamadou Mbacke, 21, plays for Barça Atlètic on loan from Los Angeles. If the Barça club wants to sign him, he must execute a purchase option of 4 million euros.
Until the injury, Mbacke had completed a more than satisfactory campaign in the Barcelona reserve team. Rafa Márquez has found in the Senegalese a footballer with experience and great physical qualities, in addition to a correct ball delivery. He has totaled 1,758 minutes, despite the fact that it took ‘a world’ for the documentation to arrive to be able to play in Primera RFEF. He adapted very quickly to the team’s game. In 22 games, Mamadou Mbacke has scored 2 goals and provided 1 assist.

Xavi had him monitored
It is a very well-made center, which has evolved a lot and which, above all, would be interesting in the event that Barça Atlètic moves up a category. A Second A in which he already played games last season, when he was on loan at Villarreal B.
It has not gone unnoticed by Xavi either, who above all has followed him very closely, scheduling him for several consecutive training sessions in recent weeks. The ankle injury is a hard blow, since Mbacke had the opportunity to continue convincing the Egarense.
The ‘overbooking’ of centre-backs in the first team does not work in their favor either. On June 30 he must return to Los Angeles and we will have to see if any movement occurs before then.
