Barca rocked by double injury blow

Barca rocked by double injury blow

Barcelona duo Dani Alves and Yaya Toure face spells on the sidelines after picking up injuries in Saturday's win over Getafe.

The Barca duo picked up the injuries during the 2-1 win over Getafe on Saturday, a game that also saw Catalan stars Gerard Pique and Rafael Marquez given red cards.

Full-back Alves has a calf problem and is expected to be out of action for three weeks, whilst Toure has a thigh injury and will be absent for a fortnight.

Alves and Toure, as well as the suspended Pique and Marquez, are now set to miss Barcelona's next La Liga match - against Atletico Madrid next Sunday.

They are also likely to miss Barca's Champions League clash with Stuttgart on February 23.
