"Barcelona" defender out for five weeks due to injury © EuroFootball.com

The closest five weeks will be without the left-back suffered by the right hamstring injury Ibrahim Afellay.

The Dutch national team player was injured in a friendly match against "Man Utd", which the English team won 2-1. He had to leave the field just before the halftime.

According to "Barcelona" doctors, Afellay will not be able to play from four to five weeks.

This means that Afellay will not be able to help the team in the Spanish Super Cup duel with fierce rival Real Madrid, as well as in the UEFA Super Cup match against Porto.
