Lionel Messi has been ruled out for up to two months after tearing his left hamstring in Barcelona's 4-1 win over Real Betis on Sunday.
The forward has scored 14 goals for the La Liga leaders this season but this is the third time he has suffered such an injury.
If Messi is out for two months, he will miss the Champions League matches with Ajax and Celtic, both legs of the Copa del Rey tie with Cartagena and La Liga matches against Granada, Athletic Bilbao, Villarreal and Getafe.
