The Argentine has a calf problem and may miss Saturday's match
Barça have not confirmed how long the defender will be out for
The painful loss against Juventus has had more negative consequences for FC Barcelona.
They may not be without a key defender for their next few matches, with Real Sociedad, Juve and Real Madrid to come in the next two weeks.
The Catalan club have confirmed that Javier Mascherano injured his calf in the 3-0 loss to the Italian side on Tuesday.
A statement read: “The first team player Javier Mascherano has a problem with his left calf and his recovery will determine when he will be available once again."
However, they do not confirm how long he will be sidelined for -- although it's almost certain, at least, he will miss Saturday's game with La Real.
Barça then have the second leg of their Champions League tie with Juve and a trip Madrid to come the following week.
