After receiving therapy and pharmacology, Josep Guardiola’s back condition is developing favourably. The manager went into hospital today but it is still not clear whether he will be able to attend this weekend’s game with Zaragoza.
According to an announcement by the club’s
Medical Services, the Barça manager will not be at Friday evening’s training
session at 18.00, and his presence on the bench against
Zaragoza on Saturday at the Camp Nou will be conditioned by the way things
develop.
Guardiola went into hospital on Thursday morning after sitting on the
Mestalla bench for the game with Valencia on Wednesday, even though his back pain
is getting worse. After a medical examination, it has been revealed that the
Barça coach has a
slipped disc
and will need to receive pharmacological and epidural treatment.
