Junior Firpo denies picking up injury while go-karting Barcelona Gave an explanation on Twitter

Junior Firpo has come out on Twitter to defend himself after reports emerged that the injury he picked up came while he was go-karting.

These kinds of high-risk activities are prohibited for Barcelona players, yet the Catalan club are insisting that the injury, which saw the left-back wear a bandage against Eibar, was suffered during a training session.

"I wanted to explain to you that the slight injury I had in my left hand was caused during the training session on Thursday before the match against Eibar at Barcelona's training ground," Junior tweeted.

"Any other version does not fit the reality.

"There are no erosions or abrasions, just a bad fall in training, like other times.

"I think there are too many issues to talk about in the world of sport to invent such a thing."

Os quería explicar que la leve lesión que he tenido en la mano izquierda me la hice en el entrenamiento del jueves previo al partido contra el Eibar en la Ciudad Deportiva del FC Barcelona. Cualquier otra versión no se ajusta a la realidad. ? Junior Firpo (@JuniorFirpo03) March 4, 2020
