In the early hours of August 18th, Barcelona beat Valencia 2-1 in their opening La Liga match of the new season. Gundogan missed the match due to injury, and Flick also revealed rumors of Gundogan’s departure after the game.
Gundogan suffered a head injury earlier this week in the match against Monaco, and he did not travel with the team for safety reasons. Flick said: “He did have an injury, so we decided to leave him at home.”
Regarding the recent rumors of Gundogan’s departure, Flick responded: “I did speak to him this week, I just wanted to know how he felt. I know him well. I appreciate his qualities as a player and I also appreciate his personality.”
“We talked about everything. It’s not something you should know, just something we know. I think he will stay.”
It is reported that sources close to Gundogan have told ESPN that the German international intends to stay at Barcelona and that he missed the game against Valencia due to headaches he experienced in training.
