FC Barcelona are going though a tough time.

FC Barcelona visited the home of Las Palmas, for one more day of the Spanish league, and Xavi Hernández knew that he has no margin for error because Real Madrid and Girona are several points ahead of them. Joao Cancelo, however, had to leave when he was the most dangerous thing they had in attack.

After a dispute with the ball, Joao Cancelo suffered from his knee and although he wanted to continue playing with a bandage, he did not have the opportunity, so he had to leave the field of play with noticeable pain in one of his knees. Without a doubt, this is bad news for Xavi Hernández because he needs the Portuguese on the wing.

According to what they mentioned in the ESPN broadcast, Joao Cancelo would initially be absent for between 2 and 4 weeks while he recovers from his knee ailment, because it seems like it is something complicated. Now, the entire FC Barcelona is waiting to know the official medical report on the Portuguese full-back.
