Barcelona defender Pique out of Dynamo Kyiv clash

Barcelona defender Gerard Pique has suffered a calf strain in their draw with Alaves.

On Sunday, following tests, Barça have now confirmed the former Spain defender has a calf strain and is sidelined until further notice.

"Tests on first-team player Gerard Pique have confirmed a calf strain in his right leg," a statement said. "He's out and his evolution will mark his availability."

Pique, therefore, will definitely miss Tuesday's Champions League game against Dynamo Kyiv and it's more than likely he will not feature again until after the international break.
