The hard knocks follow one another for the FC Barcelona. Blaugrana coach Ronald Koeman will have to do without Martin Braithwaite for quite a while. According to the Spanish press, the Danish striker injured his knee before the international break during the match against Getafe (2-1). Affected by a cartilage, he could be absent for three or four months.

It is therefore an additional glitch for Barça, since Braithwaite joins in the infirmary three other strikers of the club, Ousmane Dembélé, Sergio Agüero and Ansu Fati, the latter being the closest to a return. The former Toulouse and Bordeaux player is not the most highly rated player on his team, but he started in the first three La Liga matches, notably signing two goals and an assist against Real Sociedad.

Remaining time:

Braithwaite – 3-4 months (?)
Dembele and Aguero – 1 month and 3 weeks
Ansu Fati – 2/3 weeks
Dest – 5-6 days
Coutinho – Return
