More complications for FC Barcelona. Five minutes into the game that Xavi's team played yesterday against Las Palmas, corresponding to matchday 19 of LaLiga, Joao Cancelo had a ball dispute with Perrone, and in the collision he ended up hurting his left leg, which that finally ended his party.

In the absence of a statement from the Blaugrana team assessing the injury, this is what we know about Cancelo's condition and the games in which he might not be available for his team, in some important weeks for Xavi Hernández's team.
