Comes off injured against Sevilla Busquets was subbed out of Sunday's victory against Sevilla in the eighth minute after suffering an ankle injury.

Impact Busquets will be questionable for next weekend's clash against Villarreal with this ankle injury, and then there's a big Europa League tie with Manchester United coming up later this month as well. Franck Kessie replaced him in midfield on Sunday and played pretty well, but Gavi is another option to return to midfield from the left wing as well.
