S. Busquets will miss the match against "Rayo Vallecano"

"Barcelona" club managers and fans can breathe easier - team defender Sergio Busquets' injury is lighter than expected until now.

On Wednesday in the second leg of the King's Cup semi-final match, "Barcelona" defeated "Villarreal" 3:1, won the confrontation with a total score of 6:2 and will play in the tournament final on May 30.

However, the victorious mood was overshadowed by S. Busquets' injury.

At the end of the first half, Barcelona's defender was roughly attacked by Tomas Pina, causing an injury to Busquets' ankle. Busquets could not continue the match and was carried off on a stretcher.

The video replay did not promise anything good for the football player: it was visible how Busquets' ankle unnaturally bent from the opponent's impact.

However, the worry was eventually replaced by relief. In Barcelona, Busquets got off the plane limping, but without crutches or a cane.

On Thursday, medical tests by the Catalan club doctors were encouraging. It turned out that Busquets had strained the ligaments of his left ankle, and for this reason, he will definitely miss Sunday's La Liga match against "Rayo Vallecano".

The football player's further chances to play will depend on the speed of the healing process."
