Sanchez tears thigh muscle
Barcelona forward Alexis Sanchez has torn a thigh muscle and will be out of action for 10 to 15 days, the European and Spanish champions said in a statement on Saturday.
The Chile international limped off at the end of Barca's 3-1 home win over Sporting Gijon after having come on as a second-half substitute, and will miss their Champions League last 16 second leg at home to Bayer Leverkusen on Wednesday.
"Alexis is 22, he has to develop and know what it is to play every three days," coach Pep Guardiola told reporters.
