Dani Rodriguez underwent medical tests at Barcelona after being stretchered off during Sunday’s game for Barça Atlètic against Barbastro. The examinations found a partial rupture of the quadriceps tendon, and the club must now determine whether he will require surgery.
According to Diario Sport, the injury does not appear to be an ACL tear, which offers some relief. Barcelona’s medical team will weigh up proceeding with surgery or opting for conservative treatment, but either route looks set to keep the teenager sidelined for an extended period.
This represents another significant setback for Rodriguez and will again test his patience. Last season he dislocated his shoulder on his first-team debut and underwent surgery to correct that issue; now he may face a second operation.
The story was published on February 9, 2026 by Gill Clark. Supporters and the club will be hoping for a full and swift recovery for the youngster.
