Barcelona's Sergio Busquets leaves match vs. Athletic Bilbao with apparent ankle injury

Barcelona's players are going down like "lads in 'The Godfather'" Sunday at the San Mames Stadium, in the words of beIN Sports colour commentator Ray Hudson.

After Dani Alves was forced out of the Catalan club's La Liga opener at Athletic Bilbao due to an apparent groin injury within 20 minutes, Sergio Busquets succumbed to an apparent ankle injury in the second half when he was kicked with considerable force by Aritz Aduriz.

Busquets left the pitch on a stretcher and was subsequently replaced by Marc Bartra.

Aduriz also triggered Alves' injury.
