BARCELONA (Reuters) - Barcelona midfielder Rafinha has broken his nose and could miss their King's Cup semi-final second leg against Atletico Madrid on Tuesday as well as the first match of their Champions League tie with Paris St Germain on Feb. 14.

The Brazil international was inadvertently kicked in the face by his goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen during Saturday's 3-0 win over Athletic Bilbao and was forced to leave the pitch with a bloodied face.
