Marc Casadó, Barcelona’s 22-year-old midfielder, missed the last three matches against Villarreal, Levante, and Girona due to episodes of vomiting. Coach Hansi Flick revealed that Casadó was unable to complete all training sessions in the prior days, which impacted his inclusion in matchday squads.
Physically, Casadó is reported to be in good shape and available for selection, but the missed training affected his chances to gain minutes on the pitch. So far this season, he has appeared in 25 matches, starting 13 and completing 6 full games—figures notably lower than in the previous campaign when he was one of the key players.
During the winter transfer window, Casadó was linked to Atlético Madrid and clubs in Saudi Arabia. However, the player himself dismissed such rumors, emphasizing that Barcelona remains his priority and childhood dream club.
In summary, despite temporary health setbacks and reduced playing time, Casadó remains committed to Barcelona and aims to make the most of his opportunities. His case highlights how health and consistent training participation are crucial for maintaining a regular role in the squad.
