Barca's Thiago out eight weeks
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Barcelona will be without midfielder Thiago Alcantara for the next eight weeks because of a knee injury.
Thiago sustained the problem in Barca's 3-2 comeback win on Saturday after entering the match in the second half as a substitute for Sergio Busquets.
Tests confirmed that the 22-year-old had suffered a medial ligament tear in his right knee during the match, and could miss up to eight weeks.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The setback comes after Thiago missed out on Euro 2012 and the Olympics because of a shin injury this past summer.
