Barcelona captain Carles Puyol is set to be sidelined for up 10 days with a groin injury.
The centre-back noticed the problem while representing Catalonia against Honduras on Tuesday and subsequent tests have confirmed the extent of the injury, which, according to the Barcelona website, will keep the Spain World Cup winner out for "between seven to 10 days".
Barca, who are two points clear at the top of the Primera Division table, are due to play Levante and Deportivo La Coruna in the league next week as well as the second leg of their Copa del Rey last-16 tie with Athletic Bilbao, with the first leg at the Nou Camp having finished in a goalless draw.
