Barcelona strives to make seven points clear at the top of La Liga with a victory over Real Valladolid on Saturday, but they will have to do without a player that Hansi Flick would have almost certainly given minutes in the Estadio Jose Zorrilla.
From Flick is expected to make significant changes the Line-up of Barcelona, ​​since they will be confronted on Tuesday in the second stage of their semi-final tie of the Champions League. The will of Pedri, Lamine Yamal and Raphinha will be equipped, and Pablo Torre is a player who would have benefited from this.
But it turns out that he will not make the trip to Valladolid as Barcelona has confirmed that he is suffering from discomfort.
“First team player Pablo Torre has some discomfort in his left knee. His return to the team will be decided on the basis of his progress.”
Torre has had a difficult season in terms of collecting minutes. He did not play at all in the month of April, but he was with a very good chance of being involved against Valladolid, so there will certainly be frustration on his part.
There is also no Jules Kounde for Barcelona, ​​because he sustained a hamstring injury on Wednesday in the 3-3 draw against Inter. He has been replaced by the 18-year-old Landry Farre in the MatchDay team, while the successor of Torre Dani Rodriguez, who made his senior debut in the Copa del Rey earlier in the season.
Torre's injury is an opportunity for someone like Rodriguez to have an impact. Barcelona will have the feeling that they have more than enough quality to see already related Valladolid, even with important changes, although there is a risk with this, because this is a must-win competition, given their La Liga title fight with Real Madrid, with whom they are confronted in the last El Clasico meeting of the season next weekend.
