Overview
- Bisiwu, an 18-year-old winger signed from Club Brugge this summer, was carried off on a stretcher less than 10 minutes into the Copa Catalunya final and later returned to the stadium in a medical boot using crutches.
- Match footage and reports identify Sabadell right-back Gonzalo Ávila as the player whose challenge led to Bisiwu’s right-ankle injury.
- Barcelona said the youngster will undergo further tests to determine severity and a recovery timeline, and early examinations reported by local outlets suggested no clear fracture but final scans are pending.
- The injury compounds an existing constraint on Bisiwu’s path to the first team because bureaucratic and visa issues have kept him registered with Barça Atlètic rather than in La Liga squad lists.
- Barcelona signed Bisiwu on a reported five-year deal after paying roughly €8–8.5 million with a 20% sell-on clause, and the club’s long-term plan to fast-track young attackers means medical results and his registration status will decide if he can still press for a senior debut this season.
