Barcelona's Ibrahimovic Ruled Out For A Week

The Swede will not miss too much football.

Liga : Zlatan Ibrahimovic (FC Barcelona)
Zlatan Ibrahimovic will be out of action for a week, after picking up a minor knock against Mallorca.

According to Marca, Ibrahimovic suffered a stretch of his left thigh muscle late in the game. The injury occurred when Josemi brought the Swede down for a penalty.

Although Ibrahimovic was able to finish the game, he will now be out for five to seven days. However, he will only miss the Copa del Rey game against Cultural Leonesa, which he was unlikely to take part in anyway.

There will be no domestic games next weekend, as it is an international date.
