The Spanish international was sidelined as the European champions gained revenge on Athletic with a 1-0 win to open the defence of their La Liga campaign last weekend.
However, he will now also miss home games against Malaga on Saturday and Levante on September 20, as well as the daunting trip to the Vicente Calderon on September 12.
