Barcelona youngster facing lengthy injury lay-off as shoulder surgery is confirmed

Right-back is a position that could be up for grabs at Barcelona in the coming years, especially as it has been reported that a new signing for the position could be sought in 2025. Jules Kounde currently has the spot nailed down, although it is expected he will return to playing as a centre-back soon.

Hector Fort is the other first-team candidate, while Alvaro Perez “Trilli” Campo is someone who could also be called upon from Barca Atletic. However, that won't happen anytime soon as the 21-year-old star faces a lengthy layoff.

Barcelona confirmed on Tuesday that he has dislocated his acromioclavicular, which connects the shoulder and collarbone. As a result, surgery will be required to repair the injury.

Barcelona's B team has had a very difficult start to the 2024/25 season and losing a player like Trilli, who is highly rated within Can Barca, is another bitter blow to deal with.
