After getting injured in the Champions League match with BATE Borisov team, Ivan Rakitic will definitely miss the upcoming "Primera" match with Villarreal this weekend.
This was announced by Barcelona medics after conducting a health check on the Croatian.
Rakitic injured the muscle of his right calf in the beginning of the match with BATE, playing only 18 minutes. The footballer could not continue the game, so he was replaced on the field by Munir El Haddadi.
According to Barcelona doctors, the footballer was diagnosed with only a minor muscle tear. The Croatian will miss at least one match of the Spanish national championships, and his further possibilities to play will be clarified later.
After the upcoming weekend, the footballers will travel to their national teams, and on November 21, Barcelona will have a crucial match in Madrid against the local Real. For now, the medics cannot guarantee that Rakitic will recover in time for "El Clasico".
