Barcelona striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic will miss the Spanish champion's match against Athletic Bilbao on Saturday due to a hamstring injury.
Barcelona says the injury was discovered following medical tests Thursday after the Sweden striker felt discomfort on Wednesday. Ibrahimovic hurt the muscle toward the end of a 4-2 win over Mallorca on Nov. 7.
Barcelona suggested that Ibrahimovic could also miss further games if his injury doesn't improve in the coming days, with a Champions League match against former team Inter Milan on Tuesday and the "clasico" against Real Madrid five days later.
Ibrahimovic has scored eight goals in 13 games for the European champions.
