Pau Cubarsí’s Injury Update
Spanish defender Pau Cubarsí featured for only 41 minutes in Spain’s UEFA Nations League quarterfinal match against the Netherlands before he was forced off due to injury.
The match, which ended in a 2-2 draw, saw Cubarsí leave the field before halftime after sustaining a setback. Following the incident, he returned to Barcelona for further medical evaluation.
On Saturday morning, the club’s medical staff conducted tests at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper training facility to assess the extent of his injury.
Barcelona Confirms Diagnosis
Barcelona later released an official statement providing details about the nature of Cubarsí’s injury. According to the club, medical examinations confirmed that the young center-back has suffered an elongation of the anterior tibiofibular ligament in his right ankle. The club further stated that he would undergo conservative treatment, with his condition being reassessed after 48 hours to determine his recovery progress.
The injury report indicates that Cubarsí’s recovery plan does not require immediate intensive intervention, as Barcelona’s medical team has opted for a more cautious approach.
His ability to return to action will depend on how well he responds to treatment over the next couple of days. The plan is to evaluate his condition again on Monday to see whether he can resume training or if he needs additional recovery time.
Potential Return to Action
With the 48-hour assessment window in place, Cubarsí is expected to rest over the weekend while undergoing treatment. If his condition improves, there is a possibility that he could be available for selection when Barcelona face Osasuna on Thursday. However, his return to the pitch will ultimately depend on his progress in the next few days and whether he receives medical clearance to play.
For now, the club and fans will be eagerly awaiting Monday’s update, hoping for a positive outcome that allows the young defender to rejoin the squad soon.
