The beginning of Franck Kessié’s history at FC Barcelona turns into a nightmare. Relegated to a substitute role, the Ivorian midfielder is also not spared from physical glitches. Despite the Catalans’ victory on the lawn of Viktoria Plzeň (2-4), the 25-year-old player was forced to cut short his meeting, he who left after feeling pain in the hamstring.
A new possible injury which questions the capacities of the Blaugrana medical staff, while injuries and other physical annoyances have multiplied in recent seasons. While Côte d’Ivoire will not participate in the next World Cup, the former AC Milan will therefore at least have time to get back on his feet to start a second part of the season during which he could to be brought to the fore if other problems were to affect his teammates.
