Champions League Quarter Final Game (1st
Leg)
Barcelona midfielder Andres Iniesta has been ruled out
of Wednesday's Champions League match with Arsenal due to a
hamstring injury.
The Spain international was replaced just after half-time in
last night's Primera Division win over Real Mallorca and, after
undergoing tests today, it was announced that he is likely to be
sidelined for around 10 days.
That would mean Iniesta missing the Champions League
quarter-final first leg with Arsenal and next weekend's league
match with Athletic Bilbao.
Barca coach Pep Guardiola will be keeping his fingers crossed
the Euro 2008 winner will be available for the return leg against
Arsenal and the away match with Real Madrid.
