Barcelona have been dealt a double injury blow after Jasper Cillessen and Sergi Roberto both picked up injuries while away on international duty.
Goalkeeper Cillessen – who joined the Spanish club in August to replace the departed Claudio Bravo - hurt his knee while training with his Netherlands team-mates on Saturday.
A scan on Monday revealed the 27-year-old had sprained ligaments in his right ankle, ruling him out for approximately three weeks.
Cillessen's solitary appearance since arriving from Ajax came in the shock 2-1 loss against Alaves on September 10.
Roberto, however, has been heavily involved during the 2016-17 season so far, making eight appearances in all competitions.
The Spain international missed his nation's 2-0 win over Albania on Sunday after picking up an injury in training ahead of the 2018 World Cup qualifier.
A statement on Barcelona's official website confirmed Roberto suffered a strain in his right abductor, with an update on his availability to follow "in the coming days".
