He sustained an injury while taking a penalty against Celta Vigo in late April, and Barcelona has maintained close communication with the Spanish Football Federation ever since. Throughout the World Cup, Barcelona’s medical staff will stay in real-time contact with team doctors from various national sides. Players are also required to report any discomfort immediately, so that all parties can jointly work out treatment plans.

The players’ return dates will be arranged individually according to how far their respective national teams progress in the World Cup.
