Zlatan Ibrahimovic picked up a thigh injury at the end of Saturday night's game, that will keep him out for up to a week .

After winning Barca's penalty on 87 minutes, the Swedish striker felt a twinge in his left thigh and whilst Messsi slotted home, the doctors had a quick look at Ibrahimovic on the sideline. Although he continued until the end of the game, the post match examination by the club doctors confirmed he had a thigh strain that would keep him out for a week.

Out of the Cup

With a break in La Liga action next weekend for international games, Ibrahimovic will only miss Tuesday's Cup game with Cultural Leonesa.

Sweden friendly

With Sweden definitely out of the South African World Cup, new team manager Erik Hamren makes his debut with a friendly against Italy a week on Wednesday and it remains to be seen whether he will call up Ibra for the game.
