Barcelona's Sanchez Injured on International Duty

Barca's Alexis Sanchez picked up a foot injury on Wednesday

Bad news for Barcelona fans out of the international break.  Alexis Sanchez picked up a foot injury during Chile's 3-1 friendly loss to Serbia on Wednesday.  He is expected to miss up to four weeks.  The injury occured in the 20th minute on a challenge from Serbia's Luka Milivojevic.  The damage itself has been diagnosed as a strained ligament in his right foot.

Sanchez could miss up to eight matches in both La Liga and the UEFA Champions League, including Barcelona's clash with Atletico Madrid in a few weeks.  Despite the fact that Barca seems to have a lack of "true" forwards or wingers,  I don't think anyone really doubts that they will continue to score goals in the coming weeks.
