Barcelona will miss some of their first team players for the Copa Del Rey due to injury, now another major player has joined the list of injury worry after suffering concussion ahead of the final.
Barcelona added Nelson Semedo to their lengthy list of injury concerns on Sunday, six days before their Copa del Rey final against Valencia. Full-back Semedo suffered a concussion during Barca’s 2-2 draw with Eibar and joins Luis Suarez, Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Philippe Coutinho, Ousmane Dembele and Kevin-Prince Boateng in the group of players with fitness problems ahead of the final in Seville.
“Nelson Semedo has a head injury picked up in the game against Eibar. The player will remain overnight under observation in a hospital in Bilbao. The player is expected to return to Barcelona on Monday,” a club statement read. Semedo was substituted at half-time against Eibar as Lionel Messi scored twice in Barcelona’s final La Liga game of the season.
Suarez will definitely miss the match against Valencia after undergoing surgery on a knee injury, while Dembele is also struggling with a hamstring strain. Coutinho hobbled off with a thigh problem against Getafe last weekend, although the club hope he will recover just in time for the final.
