G. Pique misses three weeks of matches, J. Alba - two

Central defender Gerard Pique will not appear in the field for three weeks due to an injury, as stated in a "Barcelona" club statement. Yesterday, the Spaniard injured his knee during the UEFA Champions League match against "Manchester City". Initially, it was expected that the 29-year-old footballer would not be able to play for about 10 days, but it later became clear that he will be sidelined for a bit longer. This means that Pique will miss Barcelona's matches against Valencia, Granada, and Sevilla. The defender will also not appear in the return leg against "Man City". Meanwhile, left-back Jordi Alba will miss two weeks of football. He has recovered from a calf muscle injury."
