www.fcbarcelona.cat
Barça have yet another player out through injury, and it’s Xavi Hernández. Tests made on Monday have revealed that the player has torn semitendinosus muscle fibres in his right thigh. He will be out for about 15 days.
With Keita and Touré injured and Sergio Busquets suspended, Barça’s woes have now been transferred from defence to midfield. Of the regular starters, only Iniesta is certain to be available for the game with Racing Santander.
Defensive resettling
The problems in defence are on their way to being resolved. Piqué and Márquez both
sat out the game at the Vicente Calderón through suspension, but are now back at Guardiola’s
disposition. Alves is well on the road to revovery, and the other injuries are progressing well
too. The Brazilian was able to appear at the Ciutat Esportiva for training this morning.
Keita out for 3 or 4 weeks
Echography was performed today on Mali international Keita, and it has been confirmed that he has
ruptured semimembranosus fibres in this right thigh. He will be sidelined for the next 3 or 4
weeks.
