Barcelona are hoping for a quick recovery from the star defender after a facial injury
Youth of Barcelona Pau Cubarsi was the first concern for the Catalan giants after he left the field during their 5-2 win over Crvena Zvezda clutching his face with a towel. Drenched in blood, it looks like Cubarsi will be fine.
Pictures of the 17-year-old after the game seem to suggest he was in a reasonably good mood, having just received 10 points his face. However Sport report that he should be available for his weekend clash with Real Sociedad on Sunday night, and he did not mention any form of face protection.

Given his idol, as he pointed out is Carles Puyol, it is logical that Cubarsi has some of the same warrior attitude as the former captain of Barcelona, who was nicknamed “Tarzan”. Cubarsi is also likely to be included in Luis de la Fuente's Spain squad for their next two Nations League matches against Switzerland and Denmark. If there is no concern about aggravating the injury, all signs suggest that Hansi Flick will start it at Anoeta.
