And the blows to Denis Suarez and Andre Gomes could lead to Ernesto Valverde dipping in to the transfer market before they kick-off their title defence against Alaves on August 18.

Both incidents occurred within three minutes of each during the first half of the International Champions Cup clash last night.

Suarez and Gomes each suffered hamstring injuries during the 2-2 draw at The Rose Bowl.

Portuguese international Gomes was the first to be withdrawn and is expected to be out of action for at least two months.

And now Valverde is left sweating on Spaniard Suarez as Barcelona anxiously wait to discover the extent of his damage.

The Nou Camp chief said: “It was the worst news of the night for us.
