Alarm over Marc Casadó! Shoulder injury sparks collarbone fears | OneFootball

Bad news for Marc Casadó. The Barcelona loanee had to leave Deportivo-Real Betis just after the half-hour mark after suffering a heavy fall that raised alarm bells over a possible collarbone injury.

The midfielder landed awkwardly after a collision with Marc Roca and quickly showed clear signs of pain. Casadó was treated by the medical staff on the touchline and, before leaving the pitch, uttered a phrase that sparked even more concern.

“It’s broken, it’s broken”, he was heard saying while pointing to his right shoulder.

Antonio Hidalgo had no choice but to substitute him. Diego Villares came on in his place to finish the match.

An injury that is causing concern

Casadó had returned to Deportivo’s starting XI after the rotations made in the previous matchday and had been enjoying regular minutes since arriving at the Galician club.

The La Masia graduate made his Deportivo debut in the win over Villarreal at La Cerámica and then made his first start against Getafe.

Now, a shoulder injury threatens to halt his progress in A Coruña.

Although it initially points to a possible collarbone injury, there is still no definitive diagnosis. Casadó will have to undergo the relevant medical tests to determine the exact extent of the problem.

Antonio Hidalgo: “It doesn’t look very good”

The first impressions were not positive for Deportivo’s coach either. After the match, Antonio Hidalgo was asked about the player’s physical condition and gave an answer that keeps the concern alive.

“It doesn’t look very good, to be honest”, the coach admitted.

Deportivo must now wait for the medical examinations and the official report to find out whether there is a fracture and, if confirmed, how long Casadó will have to stay off the pitch.

For the Barcelona player, who is looking to regain prominence and consistency during his loan spell, the blow comes at a particularly unfortunate time.
