Both incumbent defenders in FC Barcelona, Carles Puyol and Gerard Pique will do everything possible to recover in time for the upcoming derby against Real Madrid on 7 October, says newspaper "El Mundo Deportivo".

Pique and Puyol got injured last week, the situation with the captain of Barcelona is much more serious and his chances to go against "white ballet" are minimal.

Carles Puyol injured left knee during the 4:1 win over Getafe.

Pique left forced the pitch in the 11th minute of the match against Spartak Moscow from Champions League. The Spain international received an injury in the left ankle.

Probably Barcelona's medical team will be able to pick Pique for the derby against Real Madrid, but Puyol is expected to return to the game not earlier than the 20th October, when Barca will play with Deportivo La Coruna.
