Medical report: Pablo Torre, last-minute absence for FC Barcelona

LAST MINUTE! FC Barcelona has issued an official statement confirming that Pablo Torre will miss the match against Real Valladolid due to discomfort in his left knee.

The Cantabrian midfielder, who had been in the running to add minutes after several weeks without prominence, is left out of the squad list awaiting medical evolution.

The club explained in a brief statement that Pablo Torre's return to the first team dynamic will depend on how his injury evolves, without setting deadlines for his return.

New setback for Hansi Flick

This absence adds to the already known absences of Koundé, Lewandowski, Balde, Casadó and Bernal, all of them out of action due to different physical problems.

Torre's absence is a new setback for Barcelona, who face the final stretch of LaLiga with several relevant absences and the need to rotate their squad before the crucial Champions League semi-final second leg in Milan. 

To replace the young midfielder, the German coach has called up three players from Barça Atlètic: Noah Darvich, Landry Farré and Dani Rodríguez, who will be available for the match at the Nuevo Zorrilla.

Official medical report of Pablo Torre

Pablo Torre, 22 years old, has barely had minutes in the last few matches, but his quality and versatility kept him as an interesting option for the Barça coaching staff. His evolution in the coming days will determine if he can rejoin before the end of the season.

Official statement from FC Barcelona:

“The first team player Pablo Torre has discomfort in his left knee. The return to the team dynamic will be decided based on his evolution”

The Barça travels this afternoon to Valladolid, where they will seek a key victory to continue in the fight for the title, although they will do so with a squad depleted by injuries.
