BARCELONA (Reuters) - For Barcelona coach Luis Enrique, injuries to defenders Gerard Pique and Jordi Alba took the gloss off the Calatan's 4-0 triumph over Manchester City as he now has to deal with their absence in their next Champions League match on Nov 1.

Barcelona confirmed on Thursday that Pique sprained a ligament in his right ankle in the match against City and will be out for three weeks, while Alba has a left hamstring problem and will be sidelined for two weeks - meaning both will miss the trip to the Etihad Stadium.
