The Spanish club have reportedly allowed the 26-year-old a break as he attempts to deal with mental issues that have hindered his performances this season. The Uruguay international has made 15 appearances for Barca in all competitions this campaign‚ with his most recent outing ending in a second yellow before half-time after a sliding challenge on Marc Cucurella in their Champions League clash at Stamford Bridge. Barcelona attributed his absence from their weekend LaLiga win over Alaves to a stomach bug.

Bielsa to remain Uruguay boss despite USMNT defeat

Mauricio Pochettino cut a frustrated figure as he appeared to row with journalists - despite his United States national team pulling off a historic victory against Uruguay. The USMNT beat their South American opponents 5-1‚ claiming their largest victory against a non-Concacaf opponent since 2011‚ with four goals scored without reply in the first-half alone. But the former Tottenham head coach seemed unable to immediately focus on his team's positives in the aftermath of the friendly fixture‚ instead apparently agitated by a question over his squad rotation.
