FC Barcelona's injury woes deepened as guard Dario Brizuela suffered an apparent knee injury during their loss to Manresa.
FC Barcelona faces yet another setback. After Raul Neto was sidelined for approximately a month due to injury, the team might suffer another blow as Dario Brizuela went down during Sunday's ACB League game against Manresa.

The Spanish guard apparently injured his knee in the first quarter after slipping while pressing his opponent. Although Brizuela returned to the bench, the club later confirmed he would not re-enter the game.
Barcelona now awaits the results of Brizuela's medical tests. This adds to an already challenging season, as they previously lost Nicolas Laprovittola for the year due to an ACL tear.
In 11 EuroLeague games this season, Brizuela has averaged 6.3 points, 1.8 assists, and 3.9 PIR.
To compound the disappointment, Barcelona fell to Manresa on the road, marking their fourth loss in the last five games across all competitions.
