Barcelona’s rising talent, Marc Bernal, has reassured fans regarding his condition after an apparent injury scare during the recent Champions League encounter against Newcastle United. The young midfielder was substituted prematurely in the second half of Tuesday’s 1-1 draw at St. James’ Park, sparking concerns.
With Frenkie de Jong still sidelined, Bernal had been given a starting role in the midfield. His early exit, visibly limping off the pitch, led to fears of another potential setback for a player who has only recently regained full fitness.
However, supporters can breathe a sigh of relief following Bernal’s post-match comments. When questioned by the media about his health, the 18-year-old clarified the situation, stating simply: “All okay, just cramps.” This update confirms that the incident was minor, preventing any further injury worries for the Catalan club.
