Pau Cubarsi a doubt for Getafe clash with knee problem

Barcelona centre-back Pau Cubarsi sat out Saturday's training session with his teammates due to a problem with his left knee, making his participation in Sunday's match against Getafe (21:00 CET/19:00 GMT) highly doubtful.

The defender was withdrawn in the 69th minute of Thursday's Champions League match against Newcastle (1-2) due to injury.

Cubarsi's likely absence against Getafe adds to a growing injury list that already includes Lamine Yamal, Gavi, Alejandro Balde and Marc-André ter Stegen, all of whom were absent from the training session at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper's Tito Vilanova pitch.

After returning from England on Friday, the available first-team players prepared for Sunday's league match at the Estadi Johan Cruyff, which has a capacity of around 6,000 spectators.

Goalkeeper Emilio Bernad, left-back Jofre Torrents and attacker Toni Fernandez from the youth team also participated in the session.
