Barcelona defender Pique facing weeks out

Barcelona have confirmed a calf injury suffered by Gerard Pique in Saturday's 1-1 draw at Athletic Bilbao.

Barca trained on Sunday morning but without Pique, who was having more tests on his calf injury.

He went off in the 1-1 draw with Athletic Bilbao on Saturday night.

The club confirmed the elongation of his calf in a medical statement on Sunday and it means he will likely miss the clash with Getafe next weekend, and subsequent games, potentially out for three weeks to a month.
