Barcelona's jersey number 14, Phillipe Countinho, will be out of the Champions League showdown for the Catalonians against Italian giant, Juventus on Wednesday.
 
Coutinho, who is Barcelona's most expensive ever signing and also last season's Champions League winner with Bayern Munich while on loan to the German side, was injured in Barcelona's defeat to Real Madrid at Camp Nou.
 
He injured his left hamstring in the 3-1 defeat.
 
Although he played the full 90 minutes of the match, report says he could be out for three weeks which means he would miss Champions League matches against Juventus and Dynamo Kyiv and also La Liga fixtures against Alaves and Real Betis.
 
Coutinho's absence means Ousmane Dembele or Antonio Greizmann can find their place back to the starting lineup.
