FC Barcelona’S French forward, Antoine Griezmann has suffered a thigh muscle injury and will be out of action for the foreseeable future.
Barcelona confirmed the news on Sunday (July 12) through their official media channels.
Griezmann was replaced by Luis Suarez at half-time during Saturday’s 1-0 victory away to Real Valladolid at Estadio José Zorrilla.
The Frenchman has since undergone medical tests and it has been revealed that he has damaged the quadriceps in his right leg and is facing a spell out of action. A 2018 World Cup winner and €120 million signing from Atletico Madrid last year, Griezmann is likely to miss Thursday’s league match against Osasuna at Camp Nou.
Griezmann has scored just nine goals in 35 league appearances during a difficult first season with Barca. He was dropped from the starting line-up by coach Quique Setien for the 2-2 draws with Celta Vigo and Atleti last month but made a goalscoring return in the 4-1 win over Villarreal on July 5.
