Sergio Busquets is expected to be out for around 10-15 days after Barcelona confirmed that the midfielder suffered an ankle sprain against Eibar.
Injured by brutal Escalante tackle
Busquets had to be stretchered off in Barça's 4-0 LaLiga win at Ipurúa on Sunday after an ill-timed, studs-up challenge by Gonzalo Escalante early in the first half.
However, initial fears over a more serious injury were quelled by a scan on Monday, which revealed "a sprained external lateral ligament in his right ankle".
The 28-year-old Spain international is in line to miss three games, rising to four if Barça make it though to the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey.
