Barcelona are looking to leapfrog Sevilla and return to the top of La Liga when the sides meet at Camp Nou on Saturday.

Barcelona have confirmed that Lamine Yamal will be sidelined for the next two to three weeks after aggravating his groin injury during the midweek clash against Paris Saint-Germain. The 18-year-old was spotted limping after the game, sparking concerns that were later confirmed by the club on Friday.

The early warning signs for Barcelona came as early as the third minute, when Alexis Sanchez forced Wojciech Szczesny into a save. Moments later, the hosts’ pressure paid off. After a VAR check confirmed a foul by Ronald Araujo on Isaac Romero, Sanchez stepped up and coolly dispatched his penalty into the bottom corner.
