"Barcelona" defender ranks have been reduced by another surname - Thomas Vermaelen also dropped out of the lineup.
The 32-year-old center-back was injured in the UEFA Nations League match against Switzerland. After examinations, it was revealed that he had injured his right shinbone, so he will be forced to miss playing for several weeks.
For the Catalans, this would not be a huge problem if not for the injury that also sidelined Samuel Umtiti from the lineup. It is believed that the Frenchman will not be able to return to the field for at least a few weeks.
This means that "Barcelona" has two healthy center-backs - Gerard Pique and Clement Lenglet.
"Barcelona" will play three matches after the international break in two weeks and will face opponents such as "Sevilla", Milan's "Inter" and Madrid's "Real".
