Barcelona star to miss 3-4 weeks with injury
The name of attacker Diarra has of course emerged as a prominent one in Catalunya's capital across the day to date.
Unfortunately for the Malian, however, as much comes for less than positive reasons.
Diarra was drafted into Barcelona's first-team setup for pre-season training this week, since going on to make a positive impression on the club's coaching staff.
In turn, it came as a blow when word was forthcoming that the 18-year-old has suffered an injury setback.
As per a statement across Barca's website and social media platforms earlier today:
'Barça Atlètic player Ibrahim Diarra has sustained a muscle injury to the rectus femoris in his right leg. He will not travel with the first team on the tour to Japan and South Korea, and his return to the first team activities will depend on the progress of his recovery.'
So, just how long is Diarra expected to be out of action?
As per a report from :
'The club does not specify the time of absence although this type of injury does not usually fall below 3-4 weeks.'

Official: Deportivo Alavés star seals €16m Ligue 1 switch
La Liga outfit Deportivo Alavés have this weekend secured for themselves a significant cash injection. This comes after attacker Joaquín Panichelli's long-rumoured departure from the club was finally made official. Panichelli, for his part, spent this past season out on loan away from Alavés. Not yet considered ready to be a regular contributor at Mendizorroza, the Argentine made the move to Spain's 2nd tier, with CD Mirandés. And to say that Panichelli went on to enjoy a productive stint on the books of Mirandés would be putting it lightly… All told, across 44 appearances in La Liga 2, the 22-year-old racked up a head-turning 29 direct goal contributions. Such exploits did not go unnoticed across the continent, with Ligue 1 outfit Strasbourg, for one, having recently opened talks with their Alavés counterparts in an effort to beat out the stiff competition for Panichelli's signature. And as alluded to above, this weekend, such negotiations have officially borne fruit. As per a statement across Alavés' website and social media platforms on Sunday: 'Deportivo Alavés and RC Strasbourg Alsace have reached an agreement for the transfer of striker Joaquín Panichelli to the French club.' According to transfer insider , Panichelli's move to France has come at a cost of around €16.5 million. Conor Laird – GSFN
