Over the past week, we’ve had too many stories involving witches, spells, mrogi, juju and stuff like that. Allegedly, Paul Pogba used the services of a sorcerer to harm Kylian Mbappe’s performances on the football pitch. But with news of injuries coming from the Barcelona camp, you have to ask if maybe their players have been cursed. Barca’s injury problems worsened after defender Hector Bellerin suffered a calf problem in training on Tuesday. The club said in a statement they would examine the injury on Wednesday, with Bellerin potentially joining several other players on the sidelines.##NAJAVA_MECA_6678064##The former Betis and Arsenal man will undoubtedly miss his team’s La Liga trip to Mallorca on Saturday.

If his injury causes him to miss Saturday’s clash with Real Mallorca, then Barca may be short of cover.Injured duo Kounde and Araujo have both been used there often this season, while converted midfielder Sergi Roberto is also an option but is not fully fit himself.
