Barcelona midfielder Ivan Rakitic successfully underwent surgery on a fractured finger, the Spanish club confirmed.
Rakitic sustained a fractured metacarpal bone in the first finger of his left hand during Barcelona's stunning 3-0 loss to Roma in the Champions League on Tuesday.
The defeat saw Barca sensationally crashed out of the quarter-finals on away goals, having won the first leg 4-1.
And Rakitic had surgery on Wednesday to rectify the issue, with the Croatia international's availability to be determined.
Unbeaten LaLiga leaders Barcelona are in action against Valencia on Saturday.
