Joao Felix goes off limping just 3 days before 'El Clasico'

Barca, who opened the scoring quickly through Ferran Torres (1-0, 28th) before extending their lead against Shakhtar thanks to Fermin Lopez's second goal (2-0, 36th), had a scare in the second half.

Sudakov pulled one back for Shakhtar Donetsk shortly after the hour mark (2-1, 62nd), and then Joao Felix was forced off through injury.

The Portuguese was forced to make way for Marc Guiu in the 74th minute after complaining about his leg. A possible muscle injury forced him to limp off the pitch.

According to the Catalan press, he is suffering from a severe contusion and should not be ruled out for 'El Clasico', pending further medical tests.
