Barcelona, Man Utd Stars Withdraw From National Teams With Injuries

Manchester United secured a 3-2 victory over Burnley, marking their first win of the 2025/26 season, but suffered injury setbacks with Matheus Cunha and Mason Mount both withdrawn early from the match; Cunha's injury is serious enough to withdraw him from Brazil's national team, though he showed no signs of severe distress post-game. Meanwhile, Barcelona faces challenges as key midfielder Gavi has been forced to withdraw from Spain's national team due to discomfort in his previously injured right knee, with further assessments pending. Barcelona is also actively managing its squad ahead of the transfer deadline, with Oriol Romeu and Hector Fort set to leave, the latter likely joining Mallorca on loan, while goalkeeper Iñaki Peña has extended his contract with Barcelona but will spend the 2025-26 season on loan at Elche. These developments reflect significant squad adjustments for both clubs amid injury concerns and transfer activities.
