Ernesto Valverde's injuries are piling up, as he still does not have Umtiti, Alcácer, Coutinho ready, and saw Mascherano being ruled out at the last minute due to muscle discomfort for the match against Espanyol.
Brazilian Paulinho has now fallen, requesting a substitution in the 54th minute of the match. He left the field, apparently with muscle problems in his right leg, where ice was applied on the bench.
The player remains pending for further evaluation and medical tests to determine the real extent of the injury. He was replaced by Rakitic, who had started the match as a substitute.
