"Indeed, as first reported by SPORT and now confirmed by the club, teenage forward Oscar Gistau, widely considered the 'future No. 9' of Barcelona, has suffered a hamstring tear which is set to sideline him for three months. The 17-year-old striker set alarm bells ringing when he had to be substituted before the half-hour mark in the Youth Copa del Rey quarter-final between Barcelona and UD Las Palmas at Estadi Johan Cruyff earlier this week."
"After the match, the club's doctors did not initially detect any major injury. However, on Wednesday, Gistau underwent the relevant medical tests, which revealed a small tear in the lower area of his hamstring. The La Masia striker is expected to be out for 12 weeks, meaning he will not play for the next three months. Gistau's absence comes as a big blow not only for the Juvenil A team, but also for Barça Atletic, for whom he has played seven times this season under Juliano Belletti, assisting one goal."
Seventeen-year-old forward Oscar Gistau has suffered a hamstring tear that will keep him out for about 12 weeks. He was substituted before the half-hour mark in the Youth Copa del Rey quarter-final against UD Las Palmas after experiencing muscular problems. Initial post-match checks did not find a major injury, but subsequent medical tests revealed a small tear in the lower hamstring. Gistau has played seven times this season for Barça Atlètic under Juliano Belletti and has one assist. Barcelona's medical staff will adopt a cautious approach given his recent injury history.
