Barcelona captain Carles Puyol is confirmed out of his side’s clash with Celtic in the Champions League later this month due to injury, the club said on Friday.

Puyol has torn a leg muscle during his side’s 1-0 victory over Villarreal in the King’s Cup on Thursday and is facing a one-month lay off.

The Catalans play Celtic in Glasgow on February 20th in the first knock-out stage of the tournament. The second-leg is two weeks later in Spain.

The veteran defender hasn’t hit his top form since returning from a knee injury last September.
