Pique sidelined for two weeks

Barcelona defender Gerard Pique will be out for two weeks after picking up a calf injury, the club says.

Barcelona defender Gerard Pique will be out for two weeks after picking up a calf injury in his side's 3-1 defeat to Real Sociedad.

Pique endured a rare torrid Saturday evening in San Sebastian as a third league defeat of the season left Barca three points adrift of Real Madrid at the top of La Liga.

The Spanish international could be back in time for the second leg of Barca's Champions League last 16 tie against Manchester City on March 12, the club said on Sunday.

However, he is likely to miss Spain's final friendly before Vicente del Bosque names his squad for the World Cup against Italy on March 5, as well as La Liga matches against Almeria and Valladolid.
