Tests taken on Carles Puyol’s left knee on Sunday revealed that he is suffering from tendonitis. The club doctors will be treating the injury conservatively and his recovery will be monitored to decide on his availability over the next few games.

Carles Puyol was substituted by Gerard Piqué at half time in the game against Racing after missing the trip to Seville for the second leg of last week’s Cup quarter final against Betis as a precautionary measure.

The captain has played in 23 games so far this season and scored once, against Valencia.
