Barcelona finally announced the signing of Ferran Torres on Tuesday, and then quickly confirmed that the 21-year-old could not be selected because his foot injury is still recovering.
Torres passed a medical examination on Monday, which showed that his fracture healed well, but he is not ready to return to the first team. The update is not unexpected, but considering Barcelona’s offensive injuries, this is a blow. So when will Torres make his debut in Barcelona? The good news is that Barcelona fans may not have to wait too long to see the new signing of the Catalan giants after his transfer from Manchester City.
Torres trained with his new teammates on Tuesday, as Harvey’s players resumed action after the holiday and began preparing for the first La Liga game of 2022 in Real Mallorca on January 2. Mundo Deportivo believes Torres’ goal is to make his debut in Spain in the Super Cup semi-final against Real Madrid on January 12. The game will be played after La Liga against Real Mallorca and Granada and the Copa del Rey against Linares.
Diario AS also has a similar estimate. He believes that the Super Cup is the earliest game that Torres can participate in. In fact, their report suggests that a more realistic date might be the league match against Vallecano on January 19.
Torres has been absent since October when he broke his foot in the National League against Italy. The 21-year-old scored two goals from Spain in a 2-1 victory, which brought Luis Enrique’s team to the final.
