Portuguese defender Joao Cancelo of Barcelona is suffering from a strain in the medial collateral ligament of his right knee, and the club has refrained from determining the period he will be out.

The Barcelona player sustained the injury three minutes into the match played by Xavi Hernandez's team last night, which they won against Unión Deportiva Las Palmas (1-2).

This Friday morning, the full-back underwent medical tests that confirmed the presence of a strain in the ligament and ruled out a more serious injury.

Therefore, the participation of the Portuguese is in doubt for the Spanish Super Cup, to be held next week in Saudi Arabia, and he seems completely ruled out for the cup match this Sunday in Barbastro.
