Gerard Pique Aggravates Knee Injury vs. Valencia in Copa Del Rey

Barcelona centre-back Gerard Pique was taken out of Thursday's Copa del Rey semi-final in the 82nd injury and replaced by Yerry Mina, reportedly with pain in his right knee, according to Sport.

Per that report, Pique has been battling knee ligament issues and likely won't be available for Sunday's match against Getafe.

Pique has been a key member of this Barcelona side for a long time now and without him in the XI, the often indomitable Catalans don’t carry quite the same aura.

Of course, the onus of the team is and always will be on attacking.
