Barcelona have confirmed that Brazilian midfielder Rafinha suffered a broken nose during Saturday's 3-0 win over Athletic Bilbao at Camp Nou.
Rafinha was forced off in the second period of the La Liga fixture after a clash with teammate Marc-Andre ter Stegen, and the midfielder needed stitches to repair a gash on his face.
In addition to the cut, Barcelona have revealed that the 23-year-old suffered a fractured nose, which could see him miss the club's next three matches, including the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie with Paris Saint-Germain.
Rafinha has scored five times in 12 La Liga appearances for Barcelona this season.
