Barcelona striker Antoine Griezmann is expected to miss
the last two rounds of the current championship season.
This absence comes after Griezmann suffered a thigh injury
during the Catalan club match, which won 1-0 yesterday,
Saturday, against Real Valladolid.
Griezmann was replaced during the break between the two
halves of the match, and Barcelona said in a statement
on Sunday that he had been injured in the right thigh.
The French national team has performed well this season, after
moving last year from Atletico Madrid for 120 million euros.
Barcelona did not specify how long the striker will be absent
from his ranks, but the local Sport newspaper said that he will
be absent for three weeks, which means his absence from his
team’s next match against his guest, Osasuna, next Thursday,
in addition to his last match in the season against Alaves in
the last stadium next Sunday.
Thanks to yesterday’s victory, Barcelona maintained their
chance to compete for the league title, although the biggest
rivals Real Madrid, at the top, could extend the difference
between the two giants to four points if they beat Granada
on Monday.
