Ilkay Gundogan plays down injury fears after being forced off against Real Madrid

Ilkay Gundogan has played down injury fears after he was forced off in Barcelona’s 3-0 win over Real Madrid on Saturday.

The summer arrival from Manchester City went off in the first half after picking up a knock and was replaced by Sergi Roberto.

Gundogan was asked on Twitter if he is OK after the match and replied “don’t worry it’s not bad” along with a thumbs up emoji.

Barcelona also saw Andreas Christensen go off during the match and it’s not clear if either will play in the team’s next match in midweek against AC Milan.
