Injuries and suspensions

[dalitis8]

What's our current injury list?

I know Puyol picked up a knock just after getting back, plus not match fit.

Pique still has a few weeks? But practicing with the squad now.

Iniesta still 2 weeks?

Sanchez still 3 weeks?

Ibi out for the year?

Fabregas 3 weeks?

And Maxwell just got back. Adriano too, right?

Iniesta will probably be back after the break.

The same goes for Cesc. That is what Pep said on Saturday at least.

Sanchez may be back for the Sevilla game. All we have to face before that, are Racing Santander and Viktoria Plzen, both at Camp Nou.

Pique is already playing.

Ibi was never good enough anyway.

Abidal came out ok from the international game? I thought he wasn't meant to play as part of his recovery... and I couldnt find anything about his fitness post match but I thought I'd seen a quote from him saying he didnt feel the best!

 

[Barcafan 2304]

See the Abidal thread, apparently trained as normal

 

[ZeeMessi]

Cheers thanks for that! Probably forgot to look in there

 

[Barcafan 2304]

No problem mate

 

[Pride]

Sanchez almost back yet?

 

[dalitis8]

Cesc is fit.

That leaves Asexis and Pique still healing...

 

[Barcaman]

Sanchez almost back yet?

Mid November was the last prognosis.

 

[dalitis8]

It's beginning of November...

 

[Barcafan 2304]

He has started training so hopefully, might see him back in next couple of weeks

[tiki-taka]

Daniel Alves suspended for the next UCL game vs Milan.

Who will be in his place? Maxwell do you think or Adriano? Btw, Adriano is out for a week so I dont know whether he will be fit to play so I think Maxwell.

Who will be in his place? Maxwell do you think or Adriano? Btw, Adriano is out for a week so I dont know whether he will be fit to play so I think Maxwell.

I can't remember Maxwell ever playing at RB, he is always on the left side. If Adriano can't play against AC Milan, Pep will have to use his creativity. I could see using Pique, Adriano, or Thiago at RB. Or 3-4-3, which Pep has used before when short of back-line players.

 

[Puyol]

So right now, the only injuries are David Villa, Afellay and Fontas?

I think I miss Afellay the most right now. We could use him in these situations, especially since Cesc is not a striker.
