The American, Sergino Dust, right-back of Barcelona, ​​had suffered a left thigh injury during the confrontation with Galatasaray, Turkey, in the second leg of the European League final.

And the Spanish newspaper “AS” reported: “There is information about Sergino Dust’s injury to the biceps femoris muscle of the left leg.”

And the newspaper continued: “Dust will undergo other tests today to confirm the extent of the injury, although everything indicates that he will be away from participating for several weeks, and he has been practically excluded from the Clasico.”

In a related context, great doubts hover over Gerard Pique, who also complained of muscle pain against Galatasaray, as he feels discomfort in the adductor muscle of the left leg.

The newspaper said that Gerard Pique’s position on the Clasico has not been resolved, as he needs 48 hours to recover in order to catch the match.
