Details of Gerard Pique’s injury have emerged after the defender limped off again on Saturday night. Pique missed 29 games through injury last season, suffering from a long-term knee injury.
And so Barcelona fans could have been forgiven for feeling terrified when their star centre-back limped off during Saturday night’s 1-1 draw with Athletic Club.
Ronald Araujo came on to replace the experienced defender, combining with Eric Garcia, who had a disastrous night in the heart of Barcelona's defense.
However, after the game, Barcelona issued an injury update, clarifying that the ailment was not a recurrence of last season's knee injury.
Barcelona has announced that Pique suffered a calf injury to his right leg and that tests are being performed to determine the degree of the damage.
Pique will be hopeful that this is not another severe injury as he seeks to put together a season with significantly more appearances.
