Overview
- The collision occurred Sunday in Deportivo’s LaLiga match with Real Betis when Casado fell after contact with Marc Roca and was heard telling medical staff “It’s broken” while pointing to his shoulder.
- Casado was substituted around the 30th minute with Diego Villares replacing him and did not return to the game.
- Deportivo and Barcelona are waiting for medical tests and an official club report to reveal the exact diagnosis and how long Casado may be sidelined.
- Casado moved to Deportivo this month on a season‑long loan to get regular minutes, so any prolonged absence could affect his playing time and the club’s evaluation of a potential permanent move.
- The injury adds to Barcelona’s short‑term availability problems after recent knocks to Andreas Christensen and Juan Garcia, which increases pressure on squad planning while the clubs await formal medical updates.
