FC Barcelona's midfielder Marc Bernal is expected to miss the upcoming second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals against Atlético Madrid due to an ankle injury. The 18-year-old had recently established himself as a key player under coach Hansi Flick but faced a setback after sustaining the injury last weekend. He was unable to participate in the first leg, where Barcelona suffered a defeat against Atlético Madrid. According to ESPN's Moises Llorens, while it is 'complicated' for Bernal to be ready for the return leg on Tuesday, there remains a slim chance for his recovery. Barcelona will need to strategize without one of their promising young talents as they aim to overturn the deficit from the first match.
