Barcelona have confirmed that Dani Alves will miss the Copa del Rey game against Huesca due to a hamstring injury.

The Brazilian was forced off in the latter stages of the goalless draw with Getafe on Saturday night, and the Catalan club remain unsure whether he will be fit enough to return before the winter break.

"Dani Alves picked up a hamstring strain in Saturday night's draw against Getafe which will keep him out of Tuesday's cup game against Huesca," read a statement on Barca's official website.

"The Brazilian full back was given treatment for the injury during training this morning and his availability for next weekend's game remains in doubt."

The draw with Getafe was the 31-year-old's 200th La Liga appearance for Barcelona.
