Javier Mascherano injured during Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid

Javier Mascherano left Camp Nou injured after the Copa del Rey semi-final against Atletico Madrid. The Argentine defender came off the bench and suffered a problem in the 93rd minute of the game.

He came on for Denis Suarez after the sending off of Sergi Roberto for two yellow cards. The Argentine, perhaps because of the intensity of the game, hurt his hamstring, something that has been giving him trouble for a while.

The medics will now have to examine him and will be hoping that it is nothing too severe ahead of the clash with Alaves at Mendizorroza at the weekend, before the trip to Paris for the Champions League last 16 clash next Tuesday.
