Barcelona’s promising young midfielder, Marc Bernal, has allayed fears regarding a potential injury sustained during the club’s recent Champions League encounter. The 18-year-old was forced to leave the pitch prematurely during Barcelona’s away fixture against Newcastle United.
With Frenkie de Jong sidelined, Bernal was handed a starting role in the midfield for the crucial Champions League match on Tuesday night. However, during the second half of the game, which ultimately ended in a 1-1 draw, Bernal went down and then limped off the field. This incident sparked concern among fans and staff, particularly as the player was only recently returning to full fitness.
Fortunately, Bernal himself quickly dispelled any major worries. When questioned by media after the match, the midfielder offered a reassuring update, stating simply: “All okay, just cramps.” This news will undoubtedly be a relief for everyone associated with Barcelona, confirming that the young talent avoided a significant setback.
