Both incisors broken: Barry gives reason for FCB’s toothless appearance

class=”sc-cffd1e67-0 iQNQmc”>

Dominik Schmid’s first goal in an FCB uniform after a burst of energy, two shots against the crossbar in the closing stages – Basel could not score more offensively against the standings. To prevent the third defeat in the third game of the season against the Hoppers, the bite is missing. “The opponent showed more will to win,” said coach Fabio Celestini (48) disappointed after the match.

His striker Thierno Barry (24), recently the man of the hour thanks to goals against Winterthur (3:1) and St. Gallen (1:0), is also unable to get up to speed, seems slowed down and occasionally falls into old patterns. .

After the match, the Frenchman gave the strange and incomprehensible reason for the toothless appearance: Barry actually broke both of his front teeth during the warm-up!

The 21-year-old posted a photo of the broken biters on Instagram and wrote: “As I ran in there was contact which broke two of my teeth. Mentally it was very difficult for me, but I really wanted to help the team. It didn’t work out, now we’re concentrating on the next match.”

Elbow or hand hit the face

According to information from Blick, a teammate’s hand or elbow hit him in the face during warm-up, breaking his tooth. Since he was not in major pain and there was no blood flow, FCB’s medical department also gave the green light for Barry’s use. He was on the field until the final whistle, but his two shots were missed by classification goalkeeper Justin Hammel (23).

With his three goals this season, he is still FCB’s top scorer in the league. Together with central defender Fabian Frei (35). It is clear: if Red-Blue wants to reach the top 6, they need a lot more attacking power. Will Thierno Barry find it again after losing his teeth?

By the way: Barry will have his front teeth patched up at the dentist on Monday and then train normally.
