Barca hot shot suffers injury blow
Jose Arnaiz, one of Barca's breakthrough stars this season, looks set for a spell on the sidelines through injury.
Arnaiz has been one of the few players to force their way into first team reckoning form the academy in recent years. The former Real Valladolid man is enjoying a fine season with Barca's B team and has shone on his brief outing with the first XI, scoring three goals in four appearances in the Copa del Rey.
However, the forward has suffered a major blow in the form of a groin injury, with Barca reluctant to put a date on his return. The 22-year-old will certainly miss Barca B's upcoming games against Tenerife and Granada, with the club then planning on taking things week-by-week as they look to avoid rushing him back into action.
The injury comes as a blow for Barca B boss Gerard Lopez and first team manager Ernesto Valverde, with neither coach able to call on the player in the weeks to come.
