FC Barcelona are facing serious problems after losing two key players to injuries: midfielder Marc Casado and defender Iñigo Martino. Marc Casado suffered a tear of the external collateral ligament of his right knee in a collision with Antoine Griezmann. Doctor Pedro Luis Ripoll said that such an injury is extremely rare in soccer and will take two to three months to recover. Casado may need surgery or special orthopedic treatment and his season could be over. Iñigo Martino has been dealing with inflammation of the inner meniscus of his right knee. This condition is not a significant concern, but requires close monitoring and follow-up. These injuries add to an already dire injury situation at Barcelona, who have already faced 24 injuries affecting 17 players since the start of the season, four of whom have undergone surgery.
