Barcelona said tests carried out on the first team player Ferran Torres confirm that he has an injury to the biceps femoris muscle in his right thigh. His return to training will be dependent on his recovery.
Torres has made 10 appearances this season, six as a starter. His only goal came in the 7-0 league win against Valladolid in August.
Barcelona is going into the international break with a three-point lead over Real Madrid at the top of the Spanish league standings.
