Ferran Torres suffers an overload: Will he miss the last game of the tour?

The FC Barcelona is preparing to face the last match of the Asian tour, which will be against Daegu FC in South Korea. In that sense, coach Hansi Flick scheduled a double training session for this Saturday, but in the afternoon session, Ferran Torres' different exercise was noticeable, as he has a muscle overload.

The striker of the blaugrana team completed the first part of the training normally. However, in the second part, he was forced to train apart from the group.

Although he took to the field, his activity was limited to continuous running and individualized exercises in an adjacent area, separate from the rest of his teammates.

The 'Shark' is coming off scoring a brace against FC Seoul, where Barça ended up crushing the South Koreans by a score of 3-7. In addition, Ferran Torres is the team's top scorer in the preseason along with Lamine Yamal, with 2 goals each.

Will Ferran not play the last match of the tour? Flick will decide

In this context, the muscle overload that the '7' blaugrana presents is mild and, for now, he would not be ruled out for the last match of the tour. However, Flick would like to handle the situation with caution, considering that the start of the official season is near and he does not want to risk the player suffering a major injury, so he would be waiting for his evolution in the next hours.

It is worth remembering that a similar scenario was experienced with Eric García and Iñigo Martínez, absent in the match against FC Seoul due to medical precaution, after presenting minor discomfort.

Ferran Torres' role in Barça for the 2025/26 season

The German coach would have in mind to dose Robert Lewandowski, who is already 36 years old. As an alternative for the center forward position is the native of Foios, whom Flick wants to show that he can have real possibilities of being crucial as a '9'.

In this way, the coach of Barça has let Ferran Torres know that he starts on equal terms with the rest of the attackers, including Lewandowski.

Of course, the Valencian striker will start the season from scratch, like all his teammates, but he has the backing of the coaching staff, who especially highlight his tactical commitment and his involvement in the collective work.

Flick wants the Catalan team to show an aggressive game without the ball and, in that dynamic, Torres is perfect for Flick's tactical system. The German considers that the '7' has great technical qualities for pressing after losing the ball, in addition to breaking defensive lines due to his intelligence to find spaces.

So things for Ferran Torres, who closed the 2024/25 season being the third top scorer of Barça with 19 goals. A player who at the beginning of the course was believed to have little prominence and ended up reversing his situation.
