Barcelona confirmed on Monday that Malcom is set for a short spell out after suffering a sprained ankle in training.
Fortunately the injury comes at a good time, as we’re now into the first international break of the season.
“In Monday morning’s training session for the FC Barcelona squad, Malcom suffered a sprain to the lateral external ligament of his right ankle. The estimated recovery time is one week.”
Malcom is only expected to be out for a week so should be back and in contention to feature against Real Sociedad on September 15.
