His right ankle was injured in training
FC Barcelona have confirmed an injury to striker Martin Braithwaite, that will reportedly keep him out between two and three weeks. The forward was hurt during training, suffering a right ankle sprain.
Ronald Koeman had been using Braithwaite primarily off the bench when the team needed a goal, often bringing him on alongside Francisco Trincão to try to get a goal off the bench.
Braithwaite is the only true “number 9” the Catalans have, although he was sometimes deployed as a wing forward.
Over 39 matches for Barça, scoring 7 goals and giving 4 assists over 1,643 minutes. His most important contribution may have been a winning goal in extra time against Sevilla in the Copa del Rey.
Up to this point, Braithwaite had been fortunate with injuries. He missed only 3 games so far this season due to fitness, that with a thigh injury.
He is set to miss matches against Getafe, Villareal, Granada, Valencia, and potentially games against Atlético Madrid and Levante as well.
