Barcelona play down Marc Casado injury fears after Monaco Champions League defeat

Barcelona coach Hansi Flick played down injury fears over midfielder Marc Casado after Thursday's Champions League defeat to Monaco.

Casado, who picked up another assist in the game as he set up Lamine Yamal, looked to be hobbling in the final minutes and seemed in real pain at the final whistle

Flick notably rushed straight over to Casado at the end of the match and was spotted chatting with the youngster.

The Barca coach was then asked about Casado afterwards and had an optimistic update. He told reporters, "he's fine, he just took a knock."

The news will be a relief as Casado had another good game in the Barcelona midfield despite his lack of Champions League experience.

Flick is also still without a host of midfield stars, meaning Casado is likely to start again in midfield on Sunday when Barcelona return to action in La Liga against Villarreal.
