Barça midfielder Sergio Busquets set for two weeks out with sprained ankle
Initial fears have not been realised and Busi should be back in action at the beginning of February
Barcelona midfielder Sergio Busquets will be out for two weeks. Tests at the training ground have confirmed the injury which he suffered against Eibar on Sunday.
Busquets, SPORT have learned, has sprained his ankle ligaments, but despite initial fears of a lengthy absence, he will only be sidelined for two weeks. It's news which has gone down well in the Barça dressing room as they feared the worst when they saw their teammate go down at Ipurua.
Remember that Busquets had to be taken off after just 10 minutes of his side's 4-0 win at Eibar following a nasty challenge from Argentine defender Gonzalo Escalante.
Almost immediately Barcelona, through doctoe Richard Pruna, confirmed that it was sprained ankle ligaments.
Andres Iniesta and Rafinha are both also currently injured, although they may come into contention for a return against Real Sociedad on Thursday in the Copa del Rey quarterfinal second leg.
