Barça without Sergiño Dest until further notice because of thigh injury
The right-back came off at half-time of the Supercopa final and won't play on Thursday
Barcelona defender Sergiño Dest will miss Thursday's Copa del Rey game against Cornella with a thigh injury.
Dest trained alone on Wednesday and Barça later confirmed that the right-back will remain sidelined until further notice with the problem.
"The first team player Sergiño Dest has a muscle problem in his right thigh," the club said in a short statement. "The player is unavailable for selection and his recovery will dictate his return."
Dest was an unused substitute in Supercopa semifinal win over Real Sociedad due to the injury but did return for the final against Athletic Club.
However, he had to be taken off at half-time after the injury resurfaced during the first 45 minutes of the final defeat to the Basque side.
Oscar Mingueza took his place at the break and will continue to deputise in his absence with Sergi Roberto also out with an injury.
Barça coach Ronald Koeman confirmed on Wednesday that Dest is unlikely to be back for Elche on Sunday, either, while Roberto has returned to light training.
