Barcelona are facing another injury challenge, this time involving one of their brightest defensive prospects. Landry Farré, 18, was forced off during the reserve team’s derby clash with Espanyol B this past weekend, and the club is anxiously awaiting medical results to determine the severity of the setback.
“Right now it does not look good,” sources told Diario Sport, highlighting the uncertainty surrounding Farré’s availability. The Martorell-born defender had recently returned from a right ankle
injury that sidelined him at the start of the season, making this development especially concerning.
Farré had been included in Hansi Flick’s senior squad training sessions in recent weeks, filling in amid a string of injuries that have affected both established first-team players and young talents from La Masia. With Xavi Espart out for two to three months after a ligament injury sustained during the joint U19-U18 training match, Barcelona’s depth at right-back is already stretched.
The young defender is valued for his versatility across the backline, able to cover right-back, left-back, or central defense. Juliano Belletti, coach of Barça Atletic, praised Farré’s adaptability, giving him starts against Girona B, Torrent, and Espanyol B since his return. Another academy talent, Guillem Víctor, has also been called upon as an alternative for the senior team.
Barcelona’s long-term faith in Farré has been strong. On October 17, he signed a new contract extending his stay at the club until June 2028, reflecting the Blaugrana’s belief in his long-term potential. A member of the 2007 generation that includes stars like Lamine Yamal and Pau Cubarsí, Farré continues to progress thanks to his physical attributes and technical skills. The club hopes that he will get over this setback, even if it is a larger one.
