Back at halftime to replace Désiré Goué, hit in the calf, number 7 of the Blues, in delicacy with its left thigh a few days earlier, was released in the 80th minute, victim of a “severe lesion of the right hamstrings”. Result: six weeks of stopping! A catastrophe in the perspective of the Atalanta triptych of Bergamo-OM-Barcelona which awaits the squad of Luis Enrique, itself injured in the collarbone and which had to take a surgical operation in addition to the bad news for Dembélé and Goué, whose unavailability is evaluated at four weeks.
