Barcelona have a problem thanks to Gerard Pique’s injury, meaning that Luis Enrique has a puzzle which needs to be solved each week until the Spanish centre-back is ready to return.
Injury and experiments on the right side have become a constant at the start of this season but at the Estadio Mestalla, the Blaugrana will also be missing the leader of the defence and one of the key players in the squad in Pique.
Early indications are that he will be out for three weeks with a sprained knee.
Three long weeks without a player who had started the season in his best form with perhaps only the Alaves match, where Barcelona suffered an unexpected setback, a game in which he didn’t play well.
