Dani Alves looks set to miss Barcelona's next five games after picking up another muscle injury in what has been a stop-start season for the Brazil right-back.
Alves limped off after just 13 minutes of his club's 4-0 win at Levante on Sunday, and his replacement for that game Martin Montoya looks set for another extended run in Barca coach Tito Vilanova's first XI.
Tests carried out back in Barcelona on Monday morning found that Alves had strained his right hamstring, with the news confirmed on the club's official website.
