December 10, (THEWILL) – In more unfortunate news for Barcelona, Memphis Depay has been ruled out of action after suffering a hamstring injury against Bayern Munich on Wednesday night.
The Netherlands international was on the pitch for the entire 90 minutes at the Allianz Arena, but he will now be sidelined for a while.
Memphis will be added to Barcelona’s long list of injured players, which already includes Jordi Alba. The left-back was forced to leave the game against Bayern and will be out for the next few weeks.
The official Barcelona statement read: “Jordi Alba is having trouble with his right hamstring and will be unavailable until he recovers. He was replaced by Oscar Mingueza in the 31st minutes of the 3-0 defeat to Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday.
“Meanwhile, the Dutch striker has injured the biceps femoris in his left hamstring and is out of action until he recovers. Memphis started the game and played all 90 minutes, but was clearly having fitness issues at the end.”
In more positive news, Sergi Roberto underwent successful surgery in Finland for a thigh injury, according to the club. The 29-year-old has yet to be given a return date, although it is expected that he will be out for at least four months.
