The last eight will be played in April so Barça will hope the injury is not serious

Barcelona's win over Galatasaray on Thursday was clouded by an injury to Sergiño Dest in the second half in Istanbul.

With Barça leading 2-1, Dest produced a brilliant challenge to tackle Akturkoglu in the box but injured his hamstring in the process.

With 55 minutes on the clock, he had to be taken off, replaced by Ronald Araujo because Dani Alves could not be registered for European competition.

The other option was Oscar Mingueza, but Xavi Hernandez preferred to use centre-back Araujo on the right of the back four.

Therefore, Barça are left sweating on Dest's fitness for the quarterfinals, which will be played on April 7 and a week later on April 14.
