DFFC Barcelona confirmed this Monday the bad news about Xavi Espart. The medical tests carried out on the Blaugrana youth player have revealed a syndesmosis injury in his right ankle, sustained during last Sunday's match against Real Madrid. The club has set an estimated recovery period of seven weeks, a major setback for Hansi Flick.
An injury that will keep him out until December
Espart had to leave the Clasico in the 29th minute after taking a blow in a challenge for the ball with Aurélien Tchouaméni. The young defender was unable to continue and made way for Alejandro Balde, which forced João Cancelo to move to right back.
The official medical statement from FC Barcelona confirms that the player will be out for approximately seven weeks, meaning his return could come in mid-December, provided his recovery progresses as expected.
The news is another problem for Flick, who already has Jules Koundé, Eric García and Andreas Christensen missing in defence. Espart had taken advantage of his team-mates' absences to gain prominence and become an important option in the plans of the German coach.
What to do with Xavi Espart in Comunio and other fantasy games?
The recommendation is clear: mandatory fantasy sale. Seven weeks without competing is too long to keep the money tied up in a player who won't be able to score points for several matchdays.
Although Espart was gaining prominence and had shown himself to be an interesting option, his injury completely changes the picture. The most sensible move is to take advantage of his current market value to sell him before he suffers a significant drop in price.
Official statement
The tests carried out have confirmed that Xavi Espart is suffering from a syndesmosis injury in his right ankle as a result of a traumatic incident with an opposing player during the match against Real Madrid. The estimated time out is approximately seven weeks.
