"Jofre Torrents has been a regular member in training with Barcelona's first team this season, with Hansi Flick seeing special potential in the youngster. A left-back by trade, he has made his first-team debut and a handful of appearances under the German manager and is rated as one of the academy's best young left-backs. Alejandro Balde's improved fitness and Gerard Martin's rise have seen his prominence in the first team limited this season, with Joao Cancelo's arrival adding even more competition."
"Torrents was helped off the field by the medical assistants and the club staff and was visibly grimacing in writhing pain with the injury seemingly in his knee. In fact, it was clear that Torrents could not walk nor bear any weight on his left knee after the injury in what cannot be a good prognostic sign in any sense."
"Hansi Flick will hope the injury is not too serious and that Torrents can return in a few weeks. Going by the initial signs, however, there is a good chance of the blow being a massive one, possibly even an ACL or an associated ligament injury."
Jofre Torrents trained regularly with Barcelona's first team and made a handful of appearances this season as a promising left-back. Increased competition from Alejandro Balde, Gerard Martin and Joao Cancelo limited his first-team opportunities, so he featured for Barça Atlètic. He came off the bench against Alcoyano and went down in visible, writhing pain, unable to bear weight on his left knee. Medical staff helped him off the field and coaches and teammates showed clear concern. Early indications point to a potentially serious ligament injury, possibly an ACL, which could lead to a lengthy recovery.
