Pique didn't attend training today 'but his left knee injury wasn't serious'

Gerard Pique did not train with the rest of his Barcelona teammates on Monday in the recovery session run by Ernesto Valverde.

The Catalan centre-back received a heavy challenge to his left knee by Vitolo in Barcelona's 1-0 win against Atletico Madrid at the Estadio Wanda Metropolitano on Sunday night, and although not injured he did not train as a precaution.

As such, Pique will be able to play against Real Mallorca next Saturday at the Camp Nou without any problems.

However, Valverde will continue to be without Jordi Alba, Nelson Semedo and Ousmane Dembele for the visit of Mallorca.

The Barcelona squad will have a day off on Tuesday before returning to work at 11:00 CET on Wednesday.
