According to Diario Sport, Barcelona winger Ferran Torres will not return to the field until November due to a hamstring tear in his right leg, resulting in a month-long absence.
As a consequence, Torres will miss the much-anticipated match against Real Madrid scheduled for October 26. In addition to this encounter, the Spanish forward will also be sidelined for the La Liga match against Sevilla on October 20 and the third round of the group stage in the Champions League against Bayern Munich on October 23.
For context, the 24-year-old sustained his injury during yesterday’s match against Alavés, where he was replaced just six minutes into the first half by defender Eric García. Barcelona, led by coach Hans-Dieter Flick, secured a dominant victory over Alavés, thanks in part to a hat-trick from Polish striker Robert Lewandowski.
This season, Ferran Torres has made ten appearances for Barcelona across all competitions, scoring one goal and providing two assists. His contract with the club runs until the end of June 2027, and Transfermarkt currently estimates the winger at €30 million.
Notably, Ferran Torres recently achieved a unique milestone by becoming the youngest player in the history of the Spanish national team to score 20 goals.
