The so-called national team break, during which club footballers represent their countries' national teams, cost dearly for the "Barcelona" team. Last week, in the match between the Spanish national team and Finland, defender Jordi Alba suffered an injury and will not be able to play for ten days, while forward Pedro Rodriguez also got injured in the match against France and will be sidelined for the same amount of time. It was his precise shot that earned three much-needed points for Vicente del Bosque's team, but the player had to leave the field in the 75th minute.
After being examined by doctors in Barcelona, it was revealed that P. Rodriguez injured his leg - a small fracture was found in the right thigh muscle. According to the club's medical staff in Catalonia, due to this injury, the forward will be unable to play for 10 days.
This means that P. Rodriguez will definitely miss the Spanish league match on Saturday away to Celta Vigo and most likely won't have enough time to properly prepare for next week's Primera match against Mallorca.
On April 2nd, "Barcelona" will also play a Champions League match against "Paris Saint-Germain," but in this match, the forward wouldn't have been able to play anyway because of exceeding the yellow card limit.
