Sergio Busquets added to Barcelona's midfield injury worries when he left the field on a stretcher during the opening stages of Sunday's LaLiga match at Eibar.
Barca headed into the match at Ipurua without Andres Iniesta after their club captain sustained a calf injury during the midweek Copa del Rey win at Real Sociedad.
And they lost Busquets after only 10 minutes following a robust challenge from Eibar's Gonzalo Escalante, who made heavy contact with the Spain international's right ankle.
Escalante's tackle did not prompt referee Jose Maria Sanchez Martinez to blow for a foul and Luis Enrique sent on Denis Suarez in place of Busquets.
