Barcelona ended the first half of the season on a high, but it's not all good news for them after their weekend win against Real Sociedad.
A medical report issued by the club today revealed that two players will be out for the team's upcoming fixtures, starting with Wednesday's Copa del Rey tie. Those players are none other than Andrés Iniesta and Ousmane Dembelé.
Iniesta will have to deal with a muscular injury to his right calf. The amount of time he'll spend on the sidelines will be determined by the player's evolution after treatment.
Dembelé's case will bring a few headaches to the team's medical staff, as the player will be out 3-4 weeks due to a hamstring injury. Dembelé had recently recovered from a muscular problem in the same region, but this fresh injury is not related to the one that forced Barcelona's footballer to undergo surgery.
Barcelona faces a busy week, with away games against Espanyol in the Copa del Rey and a trip to Sevilla on Sunday, where they will face Betis.
