Speculation is that Barcelona midfielder Thiago Alcantara has suffered another serious injury that will rule him out of action for some time.
The youngster has only just returned to first-team action after a four-month lay-off through the summer with a thigh injury, but was confirmed by his club today as having damaged knee ligaments during his 15-minute cameo in the team’s win at Sevilla.
The club have yet to reveal the results of the scan taken place today, but a number of outlets are reporting that the damage is more serious than first expected and that the Bari-born 21-year-old could be out of action for another long run.
