Pique & Alba to miss Sevilla trip

Barcelona defensive duo Jordi Alba and Gerard Pique are both set to miss their side's La Liga clash against Sevilla on Sunday.

Both defenders were injured in the Catalans 4-0 victory over Manchester City a fortnight ago and despite optimism that they would both be involved in the return match in Manchester on Tuesday, neither have yet regained fitness and will not feature against the Andalucians on Sunday, report Sport.

Pique has an ankle injury while Alba has a hamstring problem with the pair set to return for the Blaugrana in their home clash with Malaga after the international break.

Luis Enrique has brought summer signing Lucas Digne in at left-back with a central defensive partnership of Samuel Umtiti and Javier Mascherano.
