Barcelona will be looking to rebound from their convincing loss to Real Madrid in Saturday's Clasico over the next few weeks. They will have to do it without one of their most influential players.

Spanish outlet AS is reporting that the Catalan club will be without Andres Iniesta for three weeks due to the calf strain that forced him out of the aforementioned match in the 71st minute.

"I start my recovery to be ready as soon as possible with the team," the playmaker said on Twitter.

The timeline means that Iniesta will likely miss at least the club's next four matches (in all competitions), as well as Spain's Euro 2016 qualifier against Belarus next month.
