Barcelona will be starting their pre-season without a key player, as guard Dario Brizuela picked up a right hamstring injury while competing for Spain at EuroBasket 2025. The 30-year-old is now back with his club, where medical tests confirmed the issue, forcing him to miss upcoming preparation games.
This is an unfortunate start to the season for both Brizuela and Barcelona. With the EuroLeague and Spanish Liga Endesa seasons approaching, the team will have to adjust its plans while waiting for a clearer timeline on his recovery.
🤕 Injury Details and Recovery Timeline
Barcelona announced that Brizuela is out indefinitely after medical tests confirmed a right hamstring injury. He will begin his recovery immediately and will not play in the team’s upcoming preparation game against Girona. The club will continue to monitor his progress before providing a more detailed timeline for his return.
🇪🇸 Performance at EuroBasket 2025
The injury occurred near the end of Spain’s campaign in EuroBasket 2025. Before getting hurt, Brizuela played in five games, contributing an average of 8.2 points and 2.8 assists. Unfortunately, Spain was eliminated early from the tournament, finishing 17th overall after a tough run in the group stage.
📝 Brizuela’s Importance to Barcelona
Brizuela is an important part of Barcelona’s squad. He recently committed his future to the team by signing a contract extension that runs until the end of the 2027-28 season. Having joined in 2023, he brings valuable experience from his time with other top clubs and is a key player for Barcelona’s ambitions in both the Spanish league and the EuroLeague.
