Manager Hansi Flick claims that Barcelona defender Pau Cubarsi, who had a cut on his face after requiring 10 stitches, is “fine.”

The Spaniard, 17, was forced off in the 67th minute of Barcelona’s 5-2 Champions League win against Red Star Belgrade on Wednesday after being caught by Uros Spajic’s studs as he headed a corner clear.

After being left with a bloodied face and an open wound, Cubarsi, who made his club debut at the age of 16, needed medical care on the pitch before being replaced.

Flick said after the victory: “He needed stitches, but he’s fine”.
