PIQUE ruled out for months

Pique has been ruled out for three weeks with the ankle injury that he suffered in the 4-0 Champions League win against Manchester City. Also Jordi Alba will miss two weeks having re-aggravated a hamstring problem, which was the initial expectation after he limped off on Wednesday.

Both players will be out of the return leg at the Etihad Stadium on November 1. Barca released a statement on Friday saying: "Both players were examined by team doctors after the match and were then re-evaluated on Thursday morning. Alba was replaced by Lucas Digne early in the first half after pulling up lame with what has been diagnosed as a strained left hamstring. He is expected to be out around two weeks."

"Pique was injured later in the first half after a tackle from David Silva and, after attempting to play through the pain, was replaced. He has been diagnosed with sprained ligaments in his right ankle and is expected to be out for around three weeks."

Barcelona won against City by four goals.
