Barcelona forward expected to be available vs Girona following national team release | Barca Universal
"The Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) released an official statement earlier today confirming that FC Barcelona forward Ferran Torres was ruled out of their upcoming game against Bulgaria due to muscle overload. The attacker, as such, was being released from the national team camp to return to Barça, where he can undergo recovery. This update raised concerns over Ferran's fitness ahead of an important run of fixtures for the Catalans, starting with the Catalan derby this weekend."
"The 25-year-old complained of muscular discomfort after Spain's game against Georgia on Saturday night, and tests have revealed some overload. However, there is no injury sustained by the forward. But the Spain medical staff, along with that of Barça, and national team manager Luis de la Fuente, have decided not to take any risks with him, which is why he has been released. But the expectation, as of now, is that Ferran will be ready and available for Saturday's encounter against Girona on 18 October."
