Ferran Torres forced off with injury in five minutes

Barcelona, who came out determined to score from the first minute against Alaves, had a setback shortly after Raphinha's goal was cancelled out after four minutes. Ferran Torres, who came on as a starter, had to ask for a substitution on the bench.

The Spain international, with a worried look on his face, approached the area where Flick and the coaching staff were standing, touching the back of his right thigh. The German quickly called Eric Garcia to replace the forward.

Ferran was on the pitch for just five minutes and will not be able to join the Spanish national team and will have to stay in Barcelona. An unexpected injury at an unexpected time. The striker has played nine games so far, scoring one goal and providing two assists.
