Premier League club Manchester City have confirmed that goalkeeper Claudio Bravo has sustained an Achilles tendon injury during a training session on Monday.
Initial scans have suggested that the Chilean has ruptured the tendon in his left foot.
The 35-year-old will now travel to Barcelona for further tests on Thursday.
Bravo has not featured in the Premier League this season but was part of the side that beat Chelsea 2-0 in the Community Shield.
The news is a second injury blow for City in the space of a week after Kevin De Bruyne was ruled out for three months with knee ligament damage.
