Barcelona’s official statement recently revealed that the Chilean winger is going to be out of action for up to four weeks as he has sprained the ligaments in his right ankle.
The former Udinese player joined http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 two seasons ago and right when he started to play for La Blaugrana, he had a few injury problems, but later he managed to make a remarkable comeback, even scoring a crucial goal against Real Madrid last season.
Despite being an important part of the Catalan side last season, he has not been playing a major part for Barcelona this time round as Tito Vilanova chooses the in-form winger, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Pedro-c29582 Rodriguez, more often.
Pedro has been scoring and assisting a lot for the Catalan giants and the youngster is currently considered to be a crucial part of the team which is currently at the top of La Liga and the UEFA Champions League group.
However, even though Alexi Sanchez is not playing a major part in Barcelona’s triumphs this season; he is definitely an important part of the team, as he might be the only replacement for the Spanish striker, David Villa, who has returned in full force after
an injury which he picked up almost a year ago.
Tito Vilanova is going to miss the Chilean star, who is usually either replacing David Villa or getting replaced by the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Valencia-c40863 star.
Sanchez’s injury brings more injury woes for the Catalan giants, who are already playing without their first-choice centre-back and their captain, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Carles-Puyol-c8331.
Moreover, right at the start of the season, Barcelona also had to play without their other defensive player, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gerard-c14664 Pique, and also their star midfielder, Andres Iniesta, who is considered as an important part of the Barcelona first-team.
With Sanchez out, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-Villa-c10629 will definitely get more appearances for his club, as he has shown that he still has the finishing touches left in him.
