Following the departure of club captain <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/08\/06\/paris-saint-germain-trying-to-close-lionel-messi-deal-over-weekend\/\" target=\"_self\">Lionel Messi<\/a>, the side now have new signing <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/05\/31\/sergio-aguero-barcelona-move\/\" target=\"_self\">Sergio Ag\u00fcero<\/a> out injured.

Ag\u00fcero missed the match due to picking up an injury in training and it is now clear that he has suffered an injury to his right calf and will be out for around ten weeks. As <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/07\/06\/barcelona-register-signings-salary-cap\/\" target=\"_self\">La Liga<\/a> returns this weekend, Barcelona will enter the season without one of their key players.<\/p>\n<h2>Sergio Ag\u00fcero to Miss Start of La Liga Season<\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">LATEST NEWS |\u00a0Tests carried out on first team player Kun Ag\u00fcero have confirmed a right calf injury.

The extent of his injury is now clear and is more serious than first expected. During the game, Barcelona had another new signing step up and produce a stellar performance in the win, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/06\/19\/memphis-depay-completes-barcelona-move\/\" target=\"_self\">Memphis Depay<\/a>. The Dutchman scored one and assisted another to ensure the 3-0 win. The pressure will be on Depay now more than ever to hit the ground running for his new side in the league following the injury to his fellow striker.<\/p>\n<h3>Ag\u00fcero Out for Season Opener Against Real Sociedad<\/h3>\n<p>One of Ronald Koeman&#8217;s key signings this summer will be unavailable until mid-October at the earliest. With all that is going on behind the scenes at Barcelona, this is the last thing they needed. Now they face a tough <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/07\/12\/maty-ryan-brighton-real-sociedad\/\" target=\"_self\">Real Sociedad<\/a> side in their first game of the season on August 15. This could change the club&#8217;s transfer plan to sell Martin Braithwaite in light of this injury to Ag\u00fcero. In defence, Barcelona will hope that new signings <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/06\/02\/emerson-returns-barcelona\/\" target=\"_self\">Emerson<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/06\/01\/eric-garcia-barcelona-move\/\" target=\"_self\">Eric Garc\u00eda<\/a>\u00a0can both start the season well and improve the team. The Catalan team have also announced their four captains for the season: Sergio Busquets, Gerard Piqu\u00e9, Sergi Roberto and Jordi Alba.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\ud835\udcaf\ud835\udcbd\u212f \ud835\udc9e\ud835\udcb6\ud835\udcc5\ud835\udcc9\ud835\udcb6\ud835\udcbe\ud835\udcc3\ud835\udcc8 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/v5FoovCTHn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/v5FoovCTHn<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; FC Barcelona (@FCBarcelona) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FCBarcelona\/status\/1424699016676315141?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">August 9, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"aZByOw5xT45lcOxPITY9ow\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/1321024915\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'aZByOw5xT45lcOxPITY9ow',sig:'g6hvOxT506Iwp62EXHb5Ysg3A8DCV1K9dUoMgaCyAZw=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1321024915',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Barcelona&#8217;s summer seems to be going from bad to worse.
