Barcelona Youngster Dani Rodríguez Faces Possible Surgery After Fresh Injury

When the weekend clash between Barça Atlètic and UD Barbastro ended in concern rather than celebration, young winger Dani Rodríguez was left facing another major setback in his early career. The 20 year old suffered a serious leg injury during an individual attacking move, when he suddenly felt sharp pain and collapsed on the pitch. He was taken off on a stretcher, with teammates clearly worried about his condition.

Medical tests later confirmed a partial tear of the quadriceps tendon in his knee. Although the injury does not involve the anterior cruciate ligament, it is still considered severe and may require surgery. The final decision will be made in the coming hours, depending on whether doctors recommend conservative treatment or an operation. This choice will directly affect the length of his recovery.
