• "The tests have confirmed a minor injury to his right hamstring (biceps femoris muscle)," Barcelona said, adding that his return timeline would depend on his recovery progress

• The injury is a blow to Barcelona ahead of Sunday's top-of-the-table clash, with Hansi Flick's side leading second-placed Atletico by two points
