Barcelona midfielder Javier Mascherano was stretchered off the pitch during Saturday's Copa del Rey final after a nasty collision left the Argentine midfielder with multiple injuries.
Blood was streaming down Mascherano's face after a clash of heads with Alaves midfielder Marcos Llorente in the opening 10 minutes.
He was later diagnosed with a concussion and a knee injury which the team confirmed will require "further tests."
