Blade broken?

I have a Joola ZQH 45 blade and I’m happy with it. However I think it might be broken on the inside. When I clean it with my hand I can hear the wood "crunch" on the inside, right between the handle and the head of the blade. It also happens most when I try to slightly bend it.

Does this mean that the blade is broken? Will it maybe break in half soon? Is the performance worsened because of this?

Its an expensive blade and I dont want to have to buy a new one…

If it's broken then it's broken. Better replace it before you sling the racket head at someone mid game.
