Barca's Digne to miss Roma reunion with thigh problem

Barcelona left-back Lucas Digne is set to spend three weeks on the sidelines after returning from international duty with France nursing a thigh injury.

Digne started Les Bleus' 3-2 defeat to Colombia last week and was an unused substitute for the 3-1 win in Russia on Tuesday.

Following tests on Wednesday, the 24-year-old was diagnosed with a problem that will rule him out of both legs of Barca's Champions League quarter-final against his former club Roma.

The Blaugrana face Roma at home in the first leg on April 4 before the return leg in Rome six days later.
