Sprained knee
The Dutch international, who sits out his country's friendly against Denmark on Saturday, sprained his right knee during Sunday's 1-0 defeat by arch-rivals Real Madrid CF. He looks certain to miss matches against Segunda División B side Figueras in the Copa del Rey and Real Valladolid in the league.
Champions League return
However, Barcelona are hopeful the 31-year-old will be fit in time for the matches against UD Las Palmas in the Primera División on November 17 and Liverpool FC in the UEFA Champions League three days later.
