Barcelona midfielder Franck Kessie got off injured in the Champions League game against Viktoria Plzen.

Kessie who started the game, was subbed off in the 67th minute.

Kessie seemed to have pulled his hamstring while moving with the ball, and couldn’t continue.

Speaking after the game, Xavi said it looked bad.

“The general assessment is negative,” Xavi said when asked about Franck Kessie’s injury after the Plzen game.

“It looks bad for Kessie. Until the injury, he played a remarkable match. He was very well positioned.

“Now, the Europa League remains, with good teams in it. We are going to fight to win it, to compete until the end.”
