Mascherano injured his knee as well as suffering concussion
The Argentine was taken off after just 10 minutes of the win over Alaves
He clashed with Marcos Llorente and left the Calderon pitch on a stretcher
Barcelona defender Javier Mascherano injured his knee as well as his head against Alaves in the Copa del Rey final.
The Argentine was taken off on a stretcher after an 11th minute clash of heads with Marcos Llorente.
Barça have since confirmed: “Mascherano has suffered a cut to his head which needed stitches, concussion and an injury to his right knee which will require further tests.”
Mascherano had previously missed the final two games of the season with a thigh muscle problem.
However, he returned to start the cup final at right-back, only to suffer more bad luck with the game barely underway.
Supporters of the Catalan club will hope it’s not the last they see of him and that he’s back in action again after the summer.
