Barcelona's title hopes have been dealt a blow with the news that forward Antoine Griezmann is set to miss his side's final two La Liga games due to a thigh injury.
Griezmann, who has had an underwhelming season since his 120-million-euro move from Atletico Madrid last year, came off at halftime during Saturday's 1-0 win over Real Valladolid.
A statement from Barca on Sunday confirmed that Griezmann had injured his right thigh, although the club did not provide a specific timeline for his recovery.
According to newspaper Sport, Griezmann is expected to be sidelined for three weeks, ruling him out of Thursday's home game against Osasuna and their final match, away to Alaves, next Sunday.
The win over Valladolid kept Barca in the title race, although leaders Real can extend their lead at the top back to four points if they beat Granada on Sunday.
