Barcelona: Barcelona have confirmed that attacker Alexis Sanchez will be unavailable for eight weeks after picking up a hamstring injury in his side's 2-2 La Liga draw away against Real Sociedad at the weekend.
The Chile international sustained the knock after landing awkwardly following a sliding tackle and was forced to leave the pitch after 31 minutes of play.
"Tests have confirmed this morning [Sunday] that the Chilean player has a tear in the femoral biceps of his right leg. He will be out for approximately eight weeks," a statement on the Barca website reads.
"If that happens, Alexis will miss a total of 13 matches, between league and Champions League, and won’t be back until the game against Zaragoza on matchday 13."
Barcelona are currently preparing for the Champions League match at home against AC Milan on Tuesday evening.
