Barcelona confirmed on Sunday that Antoine Griezmann has been ruled out of action through injury.

The France international started Saturday's win over Real Valladolid but went off at half-time.

Quique Setien explained after the match that Griezmann had asked to be taken off after feeling some discomfort.

Here's Barca's statement:

It looks like Griezmann's La Liga season is now over, but Barca will be hoping he is fit for the return of the Champions League in August.
