BARCELONA, Nov 13 (Sw) - Javier Saviola joins the already
swelled ranks of injured Barcelona forwards after he suffered a
torn muscle.
The striker came on as a substitute against Zaragoza on Sunday and
scored a goal, but got injured during the match.
"Saviola has torn a muscle in his left thigh. We predict a recovery
period of between four and six weeks," the medical staff announced
on the Barcelona website.
With Lionel Messi announced to be out for about three months
earlier today, and the extended absence of Samuel Eto'o,
Barcelona's only remaining striker is Eidur Gudjohnsen.
The midfield also suffers from injuries, with Andres Iniesta also
announced out today, together with Edmilson.
