FC Barcelona defender Joao Cancelo

FC Barcelona defender Joao Cancelo was sent off at the start of the La Liga match against Unión Deportiva Las Palmas after injuring himself while tackling the ball in the area, which the Catalans won 1-2.

Barcelona beat Las Palmas in a hard-fought game that came shortly after Cancelo’s substitution, Barcelona striker Munir behind the defense to score Iñacchi Peña. Xavi’s men continued to press and Ferran Torres equalized in the second half. The most questionable penalty was awarded to Barcelona in extra time after Gündogan was pushed in the box. The German’s goal was enough to give his team three points.

What injury did Joao Cancelo suffer?

Barcelona said in a brief statement on Twitter: “Joao Cancelo has a fracture in the inner rib of his left knee. It is low; his evolution will determine his availability.

Due to the severity of the injury, Cancelo is expected to be sidelined for two to three weeks, but the club has not revealed a date for the defender’s return. That’s why he missed the Barcelona match in the Spanish Super Cup. He joins Gavi, Ter Stegen, Marcos Alonso and Pedri in the Catalan renaissance.
