FC Barcelona received encouraging news regarding their summer signing Jesse Bisiwu, as the young winger has been diagnosed with a minor injury after a challenging incident during the Copa Catalunya final. The match, held on Wednesday night, saw Barça Atletic face off against Sabadell at the Nova Creu Alta.
Bisiwu, who started the match for the reserve team, was forced to leave the pitch early following a heavy tackle from Sabadell's Pipa. The 18-year-old appeared to be in significant discomfort, particularly concerning his right ankle, leading to initial concerns about the severity of the injury. Juliano Belletti, the coach of Barça Atletic, had to substitute him shortly after the incident.
Fortunately for Barcelona, subsequent medical examinations revealed that Bisiwu's injury is not serious. Reports indicate that he has only sustained a knock and will require a few days of rest to recover. This diagnosis comes as a relief, especially considering the fears that he might have faced a more severe injury.
Following the injury, Bisiwu underwent tests at the club's facilities, which confirmed that he had avoided any significant damage. This positive outcome is crucial for both the player and the team, as Bisiwu is expected to play a vital role for Barça Atletic this season. However, it is likely that he will miss the team's opening league match against Naxara, scheduled for Sunday at Estadi Johan Cruyff.
Barça Atletic is entering the new season with ambitious goals, notably seeking promotion to the RFEF Primera Federacion. Bisiwu's contributions will be essential to their success, especially since he has also been training regularly with the first team under coach Hansi Flick. During the pre-season, he made a strong impression, even scoring twice in one of the friendlies, highlighting his potential impact on the field.
While the injury setback is unwelcome, the club can take solace in the fact that Bisiwu's recovery is expected to be swift. His absence will certainly be felt at the beginning of the campaign, but the young Belgian is anticipated to return to Belletti's squad shortly. As the season progresses, both the club and fans will be eager to see how Bisiwu continues to develop and contribute to the team's aspirations.
