Barcelona's victory over Rayo Vallecano on Tuesday night, which made it three wins from three at the start of the season, was overshadowed by a potentially serious injury suffered by Marc Bernal. The 17-year-old was in serious pain after an incident during the dying stages of the clash in Vallecas.
Hansi Flick could not provide a positive update about Bernal, who had a great start to his senior career. His pessimism is reflected by those in the dynamics of the first team of Barcelona, with Sport noting that there are real fears the teenager has suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament.

Bernal will undergo medical tests back in Catalonia in the coming days, and during that time, he and Barcelona they will be desperate that their worst fears are not confirmed. If they are, it leaves Flick in big trouble, as he only has Pedri and Marc Casado as options in central midfield.
