Barcelona confirm Sergino Dest hamstring injury

Barcelona have offered an update on Sergino Dest and have confirmed the defender has been ruled out with a hamstring injury picked up in the win over Galatasaray.

Dest was forced off in the second half of the match, and replaced by Ronald Araujo, and now looks set for a little time on the sidelines.

Here’s the club’s update:

“Tests this Friday 18 March on Sergiño Dest have confirmed an injury to the biceps femoris muscle in his left hamstring and he will be unavailable until he recovers,” read a statement.

“The full back started Thursday’s Europa League game with Galatasaray, and performed brilliantly both in attack and defence, but had to leave the pitch on 56 minutes after getting hurt while breaking down a Turkish attack.
