Double blow for Barca

Double blow for Barca

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

Full-back Alves sustained a calf problem in the warm-up before the game and he is expected to be out of action for up to three weeks.

Midfield ace Toure suffered a thigh injury and he is facing up to two weeks on the sidelines.

The pair are set to miss Barcelona's UEFA Champions League clash with Stuttgart on 23rd February.

The injuries also leave Barca coach Pep Guardiola with a massive headache for their next La Liga clash against Atletico Madrid with Gerard Pique and Rafael Marquez both suspended following their dismissals against Getafe.
