[jairzinho]

seeing him limp off was disastrous. Whats the latest on him ?

We don't know.I do not understand almost no Spanish at all,but from what I was trying to read from the MARCA website,he will undergo tests tomorrow so that the doctors can tell if he can play in London...:flagvl8:

Iniesta comes off with thigh problem
www.fcbarcelona.cat
Andrés Iniesta noticed a twinge at the back of his right thigh in the game tonight and will undergo tests on Sunday to establish the full extent of any injury.
On 50 minutes Andrés Iniesta came off apparently in some pain, to be replaced by Leo Messi. Early fears that the injury could be serious seemed to be discounted as the club doctors examined him, though the full extent of any injury will not be known until further tests are carried out on Sunday.

Guardiola, optimistic

In his post match press conference, Pep Guardiola told reporters that the early prognostic was “in principle, good”.

Jeffren calf trouble

With a quarter of an hour left, it was Jeffren’s turn to come off , replaced by Jonathan dos Santos and it was revealed after the game that he was suffering a slight calf strain in both legs.

Really worryin about this guy. I hope he's ok.

He plays impressive against english clubs. Please be ok.

I hope he's okay, it would be even tougher without him and Xavi in the midfield, but I feel that Andres will be okay for the match in north London.

I don't think we'll be playing our normal 4-3-3 though... I have a feeling we'll be closer to our 4-2-3-1, which Iniesta would play as LW (or LAM, depends on how you look at it). BUt then again, I predict another long outing for Iniesta sadly. @_@

 

[barca96]

we shouldn't rush him in like we did last year.

 

[Barcaman]

Just saw in Catalan press that the injury isn't anything serious.
Regarding Iniesta's performance... He wasn't among our best players last night, he can't fill in for Xavi. Hopefully, with our brain back from his injury he will find his place again. Hopefully, not on the flank though.

Sport saying that he won't be able to play at the Emrates.

Catalan press > Sport

 

[Barcaman]

That just came in after I made my post. It does seem that he will miss the match vs. Arsenal. :sad:

Good translation BTW.
