FC Barcelona has issued an Official Statement<\/strong> with bad news for Hansi Flick<\/strong>, Alejandro Balde, an undisputed promise of the left-back of F\u00fatbo Club Barcelona, has suffered a new injury to the hamstring<\/strong> of his left leg during training this Tuesday. The medical report points to an estimated absence of between 15 days and three weeks, although his evolution will mark the definitive deadlines. The player has a worrying recurrence of injuries in the same area.<\/p> \u2757 MEDICAL STATEMENT FC Barcelona issued a new medical report this Tuesday that many feared reading: Alejandro Balde suffers an injury to the hamstring of his left leg. According to the club, the left-back will be out for between 15 days and three weeks, a period that will keep him away from the next league commitments and could compromise his presence in the decisive phase of the season.<\/p> So far, everything seems like a typical nursing news story. But when you scratch a little more, the echoes of the recent past appear: Balde’s name has already resonated before in the club’s medical offices… and too often.<\/p> Balde’s absence will be felt, even if it is not long. Bar\u00e7a faces a stretch of the season in which every point counts, and although the young full-back has a replacement, (Gerard Mart\u00edn and Jofre Torrent), his speed and depth on the wing are difficult to replicate.<\/p> Even more worrying is the accumulated psychological and physical impact: a footballer who begins to carry the invisible weight of fragility. The club will monitor his evolution day by day. If there are no complications, he could reappear in the second half of September. But, as always, the last word will be had by his hamstring… that muscle as discreet as it is decisive<\/p> The Bar\u00e7a youth player would miss …<\/strong><\/p> He could reappear in LaLiga J6 on September 23-24 against Oviedo (Away)<\/strong><\/p> The injury affects the hamstring muscle, an old acquaintance \u2014and not exactly friendly\u2014 for footballers. Located on the back of the thigh, this muscle has the bitter habit of getting injured just when it is most needed: in explosive sprints, in sudden braking, in moments of maximum demand.<\/p> Sudden pain, inability to run, audible snap.<\/strong> The signs are usually unmistakable, almost dramatic. As if the body were shouting: \u201cWe’ve come this far\u201d. In Balde’s case, the relapse in an already punished area reignites the alarms.<\/p> This is not an isolated injury. In fact, it could be said that it is the third installment of an unwanted saga:<\/p> April 2025:<\/strong> injury to the same left hamstring during a match against Legan\u00e9s. Result: out of the Copa del Rey final and several key league matches.<\/p> \t<\/li> \t January 2024:<\/strong> serious tear in the right hamstring tendon. Surgery in Finland and an absence of six months<\/strong> that cost him the season… and the European Championship.<\/p> \t<\/li> <\/ul> Two consecutive years with serious muscle injuries, both in the hamstrings, including surgeries and prolonged absences. It is not a simple streak of bad luck; it is a pattern that worries the coaching staff and doctors alike.<\/p> The hamstring is like that bicycle brake cable that you never know when it will fail… until it does. Its injuries can be classified into three grades:<\/p> Grade I:<\/strong> micro-tear, mild discomfort, rapid recovery.<\/p> \t<\/li> \t Grade II:<\/strong> partial tear, bruising, severe pain, need for physiotherapy.<\/p> \t<\/li> \t Grade III:<\/strong> complete rupture, mandatory surgery and prolonged absence.<\/p> \t<\/li> <\/ul> The causes vary: overload, fatigue, lack of warm-up, muscle imbalances. In footballers like Balde, whose game demands power and speed, the risk is multiplied.<\/p> In this case, the exact degree of the injury has not been specified, but the estimated time suggests a mild or moderate tear. The classic RICE protocol will be applied: rest, ice, compression and elevation<\/strong>, followed by physiotherapy and progressive work.<\/p> Of course, beyond immediate treatment, the big question is: how to prevent the next one?<\/strong><\/p> Muscle strengthening, stretching programs, load control, and above all, caution. Sports medicine is advancing, but there is no science that cures impatience to return ahead of time.<\/p> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The FC Barcelona full-back is once again out due to a muscular injury that reignites alarms after his medical history in 2024 and 2025 FC Barcelona has issued an Official Statement with bad news for Hansi Flick, Alejandro Balde, an undisputed promise of the left-back of F\u00fatbo Club Barcelona, has suffered a new injury to […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":388,"featured_media":22842,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"_nextfly_llmd_date_locked":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[111],"tags":[217,461,136],"class_list":["post-22841","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fc-barcelona","tag-alejandro-balde","tag-alejandro-balde-2","tag-injured"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
