Barcelona 'keeper Bravo suffers calf strain vs. Real Betis
Barcelona could be without first-choice goalkeeper Claudio Bravo for the final weeks of the season, as the club confirmed the Chilean strained his right calf in Saturday's 2-0 win over Real Betis.
Bravo, 33, was replaced in the waning moments of the contest by second-string shot-stopper Marc-Andre ter Stegen, and will undergo tests on Sunday to determine the severity of the ailment.
Bravo has started all 34 of the Catalan side's league matches this season, conceding 23 goals in the process.
With two matches remaining on the campaign, Barca sits atop La Liga on 85 points, owning the head-to-head tiebreaker with second-placed Atletico Madrid despite an equal point total. Meanwhile, Real Madrid lurks just one point adrift of the two sides in third place.
