OFFICIAL: Busquets has sprained knee

Sergio Busquets is injured. The Barcelona and Spain midfielder went off injured against Switzerland and the bad news was confirmed this Sunday. 

The Spanish FA have confirmed that he has a mild sprain of a collateral ligament in his left knee. 

He will have more tests done on Monday as well as an MRI in Sevilla to determine how long he will be out for. He is now a major doubt for Tuesday's crunch battle with Germany. 

It is bad news both for Luis Enrique, who nearly always starts him as a defensive midfielder, and for Ronald Koeman. He may not even be fit for Barca's game at Atletico Madrid. 

Busquets was replaced in the 72nd minute versus Switzerland after taking a blow to his left knee. Koke came on to replace. Koke and Busquets will be on opposing teams in La Liga next weekend.
