The Barcelona defender limped out of the goalless quarter final first leg in Montjuïc after just ten minutes and early reports stated that he had received a blow to his left calf muscle.
Further scans the morning after revealed strain and club medics have explained that Márquez will be sidelined for two weeks while he recovers.

Looks like he’s geting a blow to the face.
The Mexican stars are dropping (out) like flies the closer we get to game time. This is concurrent with the fact the temperature is currently 37 F in Columbus and we’re all behaving like it is spring considering it was -6 F here last Friday. Coincidence? Doubtful.
