Barcelona
center-back Thomas Vermaelen has suffered another injury this season and now he
is likely to be out for the remainder of the season.
The
former Arsenal star who has started only six games for the Camp Nou side is now
out with a calf injury.
The
30-year-old joined Barca in 2014 summer and has made only 21 appearances so far
in all campaigns. The last time he played was a month ago, in a big La Liga win
over Getafe.
Barca
announced earlier today that the Belgian defender has picked up a calf injury
and would be out for an unknown time period. It is expected that he will be out for
atleast a month.
The
club confirmed, “The Belgian defender suffered an elongation in the soleus of his right
leg.”
Barca
already have defender Jeremy Mathieu on the sideline and now Vermaelen has also
joined him.
The Catalans are currently leading the La Liga table with three points above Atletico
Madrid.
Barca
will now prepare without them for the upcoming second leg game against Atletico
Madrid in the Champions League this Wednesday.
