Xavi Espart will be out for around 7 weeks, according to L'Équipe. The Barcelona defender has a right ankle injury suffered in the 1-2 Clasico defeat to Real Madrid on 25 October in LaLiga.
According to Foot Mercato, he had to come off in the 30th minute after a heavy tackle from Yan Diomandé. Foot Mercato describes a very long absence, while L'Équipe says the Catalans' defence was already short of options.
He had made 9 appearances, all as a starter, with 2 goals and 2 assists this season. Barcelona, 1st in LaLiga with 27 points after 10 matches, host Deportivo Alavés on 31 October at 20:00 Casablanca time without their full-back.
