The fitness of Gerard Pique has become a concern after the centre-back reportedly picked up a knee problem towards the end of Barcelona’s 1-1 draw with Espanyol.
The injury comes at a bad time with Thomas Vermaelen also injured, Javier Mascherano having departed for China and Yerry Mina yet to play a single minute for his new club.
Barcelona will also be without Samuel Umtiti for Sunday’s visit from Getafe as he is suspended after picking up his fifth booking of the season against Espanyol on Sunday.
