suffers from a fracture of the fifth metatarsal of the right foot, explains the press release.

Since the 2018 World Cup, where he sent France to the final after his goal against Belgium, the international has already been handicapped in his career by a series of knee injuries, especially during the summer of 2020.

Last September, he was also hit in the ankle, with nearly forty days off.

Last December, Barça also announced that the central defender had fallen victim to the Covid-19 virus, as in August 2020.

Recruited in July 2016, the former Lyonnais only played 133 games with the Blaugrana.

Since September, he has only appeared on the pitch once, on December 12 against Osasuna (2-2).

A week ago, his club announced the extension of his contract until 2026, with a pay cut.
