Barcelona have confirmed that Javier Mascherano sustained concussion and a knee injury during this evening's Copa del Rey final against Alaves.
The Argentine lasted just 11 minutes of the match at the Vicente Calderon before being stretchered off after landing awkwardly following a clash of heads.
Mascherano suffered a cut to the head and landed with his leg folded beneath his body, and the club confirmed that he will undergo further scans to discover the full extent of the injury.
