Spanish club Barcelona announced on Monday that defender Chavi Espart will be sidelined for approximately seven weeks after suffering a right ankle injury during Sunday’s La Liga match against Real Madrid.
In a statement published on its official website, the club confirmed that medical examinations revealed Espart had injured his right ankle following a collision with a Real Madrid player during the game.
The Spanish defender was forced to leave the Spotify Camp Nou after just 29 minutes of play, following a strong challenge from Real Madrid midfielder Aurélien Tchouaméni on his ankle, which had been causing him slight discomfort prior to the match.
Real Madrid had already secured victory in the first “Clásico” of the season, defeating Barcelona 2-1.
