Midfielder Marc Casado underwent medical examinations today, Monday, after feeling a sting in his adductor muscles during warm-up before Barcelona's match against Celta Vigo in the twelfth round of La Liga. According to what was published by the Spanish newspaper "Marca," the presence of any serious injury has been ruled out, which is reassuring news for the team's coaching staff.

The newspaper confirmed that coach Hans Flick can be reassured about Casado's condition, as the player continues to receive treatment to alleviate pain and prevent the injury from worsening, despite not participating in the last match against Celta Vigo. This decision was made in the interest of the player's safety and to avoid risking his participation when he is not ready.

This news comes at a sensitive time for the team, especially since Frenkie de Jong will be absent from the next match against Athletic Bilbao due to a red card, while Pedri's return remains uncertain due to a hamstring tear he suffered two weeks ago.

Casado has participated in 12 matches this season, including 8 in La Liga and 4 in the Champions League, and he has been filling in for Pedri in the midfield lineup.

The newspaper mentioned that Flick might rely on Eric Garcia in the midfield while Casado continues if he fully recovers, or Dani Olmo might be moved back to the midfield position as happened in the match against Celta.

This positive development highlights Casado's importance in Barcelona's lineup, as being reassured about his health allows him to continue delivering the performance that has helped strengthen the Catalan midfield while maintaining his readiness for upcoming matches.
