Barcelona announced on Monday that their young defender Chavi Espar will be sidelined for approximately seven weeks following an injury sustained during yesterday's El Clásico match against Real Madrid. The club's official statement revealed that medical examinations confirmed an injury to the ligament connecting the bones in his right ankle, caused by a collision with an opposing player during the game. The Catalan full-back was injured in the tenth minute after contact with Aurélien Tchouaméni but continued playing until the 30th minute when he had to request a substitution on the coach Hans Flick's decision. Chavi Espar, aged 19, is a product of the renowned La Masia academy and is considered one of the promising talents in the team.
