Bitter-sweet news about Malcom
Barcelona have confirmed that Malcom will be out for 10-15 days following his injury in the Copa Del Rey match on Wednesday. The winger has sprained his right ankle and has been advised to take rest for 2 weeks.
Initial reports suggested that he could be out for a longer period but the medical examinations have given the Catalan side a huge boost. The Brazilian will miss marches against Espanyol, Tottenham and Levante.
Following that, Barcelona face Celta Vigo on December 22nd before they have a winter break. It is highly likely that Barcelona will keep him out of that match as well to give him more time to recover.
