Ilic was forced off in the 71st minute of Sunday's 1-0 defeat against Elche due to an ankle sprain, coach Veljko Paunovic said in a press conference.

Ilic couldn't finish Sunday's game after suffering an ankle sprain in the second half. The playmaker created one chance and delivered four crosses and two corners but couldn't prevent his team from losing. The attacking midfielder will undergo scans in the coming hours to determine if he can be available against Barcelona on Thursday or if he will need some time to recover. If he is forced to miss the match, Santiago Colombatto could see increased playing time.
