Already weakened by injuries, FC Barcelona lost its striker Ferran Torres for a month. The Spain international will miss the Champions League round of 16 first leg against Napoli.

FC Barcelona prepared for its postponed La Liga match against Osasuna (won 1-0) on Wednesday evening without a long list of unavailable players, including Marc André Ter Stegen, Alejandro Baldé, Marcos Alonso, Sergi Roberto, Gavi, Raphinha and Joao Felix. A new player came to fill the infirmary during the evening: Ferran Torres!

Established on the left wing of the Blaugranas, he who had scored a hat-trick against Betis ten days previously, Ferran suffered a muscle injury from the start. This Thursday, Ace claims that the former Manchester City player will be unavailable for four to five weeks, which will cause him to miss the Champions League round of 16 first leg in Naples on February 21.

Ferran Torres was replaced by Fermin Lopez in the 7th minute, then the second city gave way after the hour mark to Vitor Roque and the young Brazilian striker who arrived this winter scored the winning goal with a header in the stride (63rd)! It is he who should continue on the left wing against Alavés on Saturday in La Liga.
