Despite achieving a dramatic victory against Las Palmas, Barcelona will not sleep happy with this victory, after Joao Cancelo suffered an injury.
The Portuguese international left the match only 4 minutes after it started due to his injury, and Xavi Hernandez did not hesitate to take him out for fear of it getting worse and keeping him away from the field for a longer period.
According to the newspaper "Mundo Deportivo", Cancelo's injury occurred in the knee, and he will undergo urgent medical examinations on Friday morning to determine its nature and the expected duration of his absence.
At the same time, there is great pessimism about this injury, and with only one week remaining until the Osasuna match in the Spanish Super Cup, it is unlikely that the Portuguese will be present in the competition scheduled to be held in Saudi Arabia.
Barca is already suffering from many absences in the Super Cup, namely Gavi, Pedri, Ter Stegen and Marcos Alonso, while Iñago Martinez is expected to join the tournament after recovering from injury in recent days.
Cancelo's absence from the Super Cup, if confirmed, would be a major blow to Barcelona, given Xavi's absolute dependence on him, whether on the right or left front.
It is noteworthy that the player loaned from Manchester City played 21 matches this season with Barcelona, during which he scored 3 goals and assisted two goals.
