Marc Casad\u00f3 was a last-minute absentee for Bar\u00e7a against Celta due to a groin strain. Tests carried out on Monday confirmed a minor injury, with no major complications<\/h2> \r\n
\r\n \r\n \r\n Calendar of FC Barcelona <\/a>\r\n<\/div>

Hansi Flick<\/strong> was forced to make a last-minute change to his lineup for the Celta-Barcelona<\/a> match on matchday 12 of LaLiga. Marc Casad\u00f3<\/strong>, who was once again set to partner Frenkie de Jong <\/strong>in midfield, had to leave for the locker room due to a twinge in his adductor. <\/p>

After being evaluated by Bar\u00e7a’s doctors, the midfielder was ultimately ruled out of the match. Dani Olmo<\/strong> came in for him, forcing Ferm\u00edn L\u00f3pez<\/strong> to drop back several meters to play as an inside midfielder. <\/p>

Finally, Casad\u00f3 returned to the Ciutat Esportiva on Monday to undergo medical tests that would confirm the extent of his ailment. Fortunately, it is a minor injury in the adductor area<\/strong>, which is why Bar\u00e7a decided against issuing an official statement<\/p>

The player from Sant Pere de Vilamajor will undergo specific exercises in the coming days to overcome the discomfort in the area. The international break, in that sense, is a godsend for him<\/strong> to rest and get back into physical shape for the upcoming league and Champions League matches.<\/p>

When will Marc Casad\u00f3 play for Bar\u00e7a again?<\/h2>

In principle, Marc will have no problem reappearing in the match against Athletic, on November 22 for matchday 13 of LaLiga. The ’17’ has accumulated 566 minutes spread across 12 games (7 as a starter), with one assist in the thrashing of Valencia (6-0)<\/p>

With Pedri Gonz\u00e1lez out, Casad\u00f3 has returned to the starting XI regularly, while Marc Bernal<\/strong> is regaining his competitive rhythm. The player from Berga has barely accumulated 32 minutes of action in 5 appearances this season, so he is still far from becoming a reliable alternative for Hansi Flick in midfield.<\/p>

Frenkie de Jong will not be available against Athletic due to suspension (he was sent off against Celta for a double yellow), which means Marc Casad\u00f3’s recovery will be key for matchday 13 of La Liga.Pedri is not expected back until the end of the month after his left thigh injury, while the Dutchman would return to action for the Champions League visit to Chelsea. Therefore, Ferm\u00edn and Olmo must also remain in the starting XI against the Basques<\/p>

Bar\u00e7a hopes to avoid further injuries during the international break<\/h2>

Jules Kound\u00e9 also did not play against Celta, as a precaution, having already missed part of the last training session due to discomfort from a knock received against Bruges.<\/p>

The defender is included in the France squad for the matches against Ukraine and Azerbaijan, the last in the World Cup qualifiers.This is why Bar\u00e7a is keeping a close eye on the physical condition of the defender and the rest of the players called up for the November FIFA international break.<\/p>

Currently, five players are in the Bar\u00e7a infirmary, but **Joan Garc\u00eda** and **Raphinha** are expected to be medically cleared next week. **Gavi** and **Ter Stegen** are, for now, the only long-term absentees<\/p>
