Sergio Busquets is at risk of missing Barcelona’s Europa League tie with Manchester United after spraining his ankle ligament in Barcelona’s 3-0 win over Sevilla on Sunday.
The club captain was forced off just four minutes into the contest and tests on Monday showed the severity of the damage. Barcelona have not put a timeframe on his return but instead said they will see how quickly the recovery process takes before making a judgement.
His absence against United next week would come as a blow for the La Liga leaders with the midfielder playing all but two of the Spanish side’s 20 league games this season, of which he has started 16.
