Barcelona manager Hansi Flick has appeared in front of the media ahead of Saturday’s match against Real Valladolid. Marc Bernal’s injury, which will keep him out for the rest of the season due to an anterior cruciate ligament tear, was the main topic of discussion.
The Blaugrana reportedly made an offer for Liverpool starlet Stefan Bajcetic, but with no salary cap space, they appear to have accepted that they would be unable to replace Bernal. Flick was asked who would cover the absence. Reported By football Espana

“We have two clear possibilities for playing the position: Marc Casado and Eric Garcia. He is primarily a center defender, but he can also play there. He did it the last matches, and in training, and he did very well.”
He went on to mention how great Bernal was doing at the moment.
“It’s what it is, and I knew the scenario when I joined here; I’m pleased with the team now. I never consider [what might be]. It’s a shame because Marc Bernal was doing so well at only 17 years old, with our ideas and at Rayo. We’ll miss him. When I looked at the last three games, and we were analyzing him, I noticed he was doing wonderful stuff.”
“We will replace him, and the team that is here, I am happy with.”
