Coutinho out for three weeks

Another Barcelona star is confirmed out for the next three weeks after picking an injury.

Philippe Coutinho picked up an injury and has been ruled out for their next clash against Real Betis this weekend and he would subsequently miss Brazil next game.

The former Liverpool midfielder suffered a small rupture in his biceps femoris of the left leg.

Barcelona manager will need to look at his options to find a suitable replacement for the Brazilian, he might count on Ousmane Dembele as Lionel Messi is doubtful for the clash after injuring his arm against Sevilla.

Malcom might be considered as well after a good outing in the Champions League against Inter Milan after getting the opener in the clash, which ensured Barcelona guarantee a place in the knockout stage of the competition.
