Barcelona could be without forward Ansu Fati for around three weeks with a hamstring injury he picked up in the 3-3 LaLiga draw against Celta Vigo on Saturday.

The 19-year-old forward went off injured in the 46th minute with his side leading 3-0 after scoring the opening goal. Vigo valiantly fought back in the second half to earn a 3-3 draw with visiting Barcelona.

This is Fati’s first hamstring injury but he previously spent about a year out of action with a serious knee problem.

This setback could mean he misses the vital must-win UEFA Champions League clash against Benfica on 23 November at Camp Nou.

The reality is that if Barcelona draw with Benfica and lose to Bayern Munich in their final game, and if Benfica win their final game against Dynamo Kyiv, then due to head-to-head points the Portuguese side would progress to the next stage.

With Fati penned in to be fit again from around 27 November it would mean his missed the vital game for his club.
