Officially.. Barcelona announces the injury of Marc Casado and the duration of his absence

FC Barcelona announced the details of the injury suffered by midfielder Marc Casado during the match against Atletico Madrid in La Liga on March 16. Medical examinations confirmed that the player is suffering from a partial tear in the lateral collateral ligament of his right knee, which will keep him out of action for an extended period.

The Catalan club issued an official statement confirming that Casado will undergo conservative treatment without surgical intervention, estimating his absence to be around two months, which means he will miss several crucial matches in the upcoming period.

Due to this injury, Casado has been excluded from the Spain national team list during the international break in March, as he will begin the rehabilitation phase under the supervision of the club's medical staff to return in the best possible condition.

Barcelona is preparing to face Espanyol on Wednesday, March 19, 2025, in the semi-finals of the Catalonia Cup, at Espanyol's stadium, in a match where the team aims to achieve victory despite significant absences.
