Griezmann, who has had an underwhelming season since a €120-million move from Atletico Madrid in 2019, came off at halftime and a statement from Barca on Sunday said he had injured his right thigh.
The club did not say how long the France striker would be out for although newspaper Sport said he would be sidelined for three weeks, ruling him out of Thursday’s home game against Osasuna and their final match, away to Alaves, next Sunday.
