The youngsters were both forced off in extra time after returning from knocks recently

Ansu Fati and Pedri got injured again as Barcelona were knocked out of the Copa del Rey by Athletic Club on Thursday. 

Ansu came on in the 60th minute but had to come off in extra time for Sergino Dest, heading straight down the tunnel. 

Pedri started the game and paid the price for tiredness in extra time, coming off shortly after Ansu. 

Ansu left the pitch with tears in his eyes, fearing the worst after pulling up while chasing the ball. His reaction suggests the injury could be serious. 

It would be his fourth this season. He began the campaign sidelined from last season and has had two further issues since returning from injury. 

Pedri has also just returned from a calf injury that has sidelined him for most of the season.
