Pique picked up a goal and a clean sheet during Barcelona's 5-0 win over Cordoba on Saturday.

Pique's goal was his second this season, though both have come in the last three La Liga matches. He's also working on back-to-back clean sheets, as he appears to be getting closer to locking up a spot in the starting XI once again.

Pique picked up an assist and a yellow card in Barcelona's 2-0 win over Rayo Vallecano on Saturday.

Pique has been in-and-out of the starting XI this season, but has still managed to register four La Liga clean sheets, as well as another in the Champions League. The inconsistent playing time is troubling from a fantasy perspective, but he's a valuable asset when he does play.

Pique, who has been battling a hip injury of late, was an unused substitute for Barcelona's 3-2 loss to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League on Tuesday.

Pique's playing time has been very inconsistent this season, as he continues to battle with both Jeremy Mathieu and Javier Macherano. It's an unfortunate situation and one that makes him a fairly unreliable fantasy option.

Pique is expected to play for Barcelona on Saturday against Athletic Club after being unable to play for Spain during the international break due to a hip injury, ESPN FC reports.

Pique missed the season-opener against Elche, but posted a clean sheet over Villarreal on Aug. 31. As long as he's fit, Pique will start, though there are higher-performing defenders who get involved in the attack.

Pique signed a contract extension last week, which will keep him at FC Barcelona until June 2019, the club's official web site reports.

The Barca back four really struggled this season, although Pique remains one of the finer defenders in the world, and he'll be an important piece of Spain's bid to repeat at World Cup winners.

Pique will be sidelined for the next four weeks after suffering a pelvic injury during Tuesday's Champions League match with Atletico Madrid, Goal.com reports.

Pique suffered the injury just 10 minutes into the match and his absence is a huge blow to Barcelona, who will need to win or draw with at least two goals to advance to the Champions League semifinals.

Pique suffered a torn muscle in his right leg and he is expected to miss the next two weeks, the Associated Press reports.

Pique will likely miss Barca's next two Liga matches, which come against Almeria and Real Valladolid, but should be able to return for the second leg of their Champions League round of 16 tie with Manchester City, which will be played March 12.
