BARCELONA, July 12 — Barcelona forward Antoine Griezmann is set to miss his side’s final two La Liga games after sustaining a thigh injury during yesterday’s 1-0 win over Real Valladolid.

Griezmann, who has had an underwhelming season since an €120 millon (RM578 million) move from Atletico Madrid last year, came off at halftime and a statement from Barca today said he had injured his right thigh.

The club did not say how long the France striker would be out for although newspaper Sport said he would be sidelined for three weeks, ruling him out of Thursday’s home game against Osasuna and their final match, away to Alaves, next Sunday.

The win over Valladolid kept Barca in the title race, although leaders Real can extend their lead at the top back to four points if they beat Granada on Sunday. — Reuters
