Barcelona forward Pedro has damaged a calf muscle while away on international duty and will be out of action for 10 days, the La Liga leaders said in a statement on Wednesday.
.
Pedro scored the winner for world champions Spain in a 1-0 victory over France in Paris on Tuesday which put them back on top of their group in qualifying for next year's World Cup finals.
.
The 25-year-old was already suspended for next Tuesday's Champions League quarterfinal first leg against Paris St Germain, but now misses Saturday's league trip to Celta Vigo and is a doubt for the visit of Real Mallorca the following weekend.
.
Pedro is the second Barca player to pick up an injury on international duty this month, with Spain left back Jordi Alba suffering a hamstring strain.
.
The duo join Adriano Correia and Carles Puyol in the treatment room.

That is a big blow for the team due to his recent form for Spain. Barcelona have good replacements though
