Barcelona will be without a striker for two months as the hamstring injury is confirmed
Barcelona has had bad luck with injuries in recent months, and that has now continued with another brutal blow. After Marc Bernal and Marc-Andre Ter Stegen, the latest to face a significant layoff period is Ferran Torres.
Torres was kicked out a few minutes from Sunday's victory in Alaves. Barcelona have now confirmed that he has suffered an injury to the biceps femoris of his hamstring, with MD stating that this will keep him out of action for the next two months.

Torres has been a regular starter for Barcelona since Dani Olmo picked up a muscle injury during last month's win over Girona. However, Hansi Flick will now not be able to call on his services until December.
Losing Torres is a blow, although it is somewhat canceled out by the imminent return of Olmo, who should be back in action for Barcelona after the international break. Ansu Fati and Pablo Torre are also players who could see an increase in their playing time as a result.
