The newcomer Alexis Sanchez will not play for about a week due to a minor injury. During the warm-up before the match against Real Madrid, the Chilean slipped and slightly strained his groin muscle. Alexis claimed he could play and was on the bench of Barcelona's substitute players during the match, but Josep Guardiola decided not to take any risks and didn't allow the forward onto the field.
After the match, doctors examined the player's leg and diagnosed a minor muscle strain. The footballer won't need additional treatment, but he is recommended to avoid strenuous physical activity for at least a week.
Due to this reason, Alexis will miss the first round of the Spanish Liga BBVA championship match against Malaga, which won't take place anyway due to the players' strike, as well as the symbolic Joan Gamper Trophy match against Napoli.
