Barcelona has confirmed that Marc Casado's injury is a partial tear for his side larament, after further tests on Tuesday. The 21-year-old suffered a knee injury on Sunday evening during their comeback 4-2 victory over Atletico Madrid, but only came off late in the second half.
Casado was diagnosed with a knee injury during the night, but after reports that he could miss the rest of the season, there is a lot that he could be back for the last Battena Bots. The Blaugrana becomes at home opposite Villarreal and Athletic Club in San Mames in the last two games of the Liga season, and if he completes the recovery time that is mentioned by the club of approximately two months, Casado has a chance to appear again.
If Barcelona were also to make a potential Champions League final, Casado would also be in the fight to be present in Munich, although manager Hansi Flick clearly returned from injury, could decide that he would better wait until next season.
The key to him that may return is that the diagnosis is a partial tear of his knee ligament instead of a complete tear: it means that Barcelona has decided to follow a conservative treatment of his knee and ultimately avoid surgery. Going under the knife would probably have meant the end of the season of Casado and a longer recovery period.
