Barcelona’s injury problems continue with midfielder Franck Kessie the latest player to be ruled out of action by the Catalan giants.
The Ivorian came on as a late substitute in Tuesday’s defeat to Inter in the Champions League but now faces a spell out.
Here’s the club’s official statement:

There’s no detail from Barcelona about how long Kessie will be out for but it’s another problem Xavi could do without during what will be a key month for the team.
