The play originated in the 80th minute. The goalkeeper from Sallent dived to catch a shot from Harvey Barnes with his right hand, an action that did not seem complicated. However, when getting up he grabbed his left calf after feeling a sting. Cubarsí quickly approached while the goalkeeper, visibly in discomfort, lay back down on the green of Camp Nou, setting off all alarms.

The substitution took place shortly after, and attention turned to the medical tests. This Thursday, following the examinations carried out by the club's medical services, the official statement confirmed that there is no injury. Thus, the goalkeeper will be available for next Sunday’s match against Rayo Vallecano.
