Injuries and suspensions

[Sultan]

Cesc to miss three to four weeks

 

[Barcaman]

Ah. the initial reports were right then.
Too bad, he was in his best form since joining the club.

Full squad available except Abidal. It´s important because the most important part of season is right around the corner. If barça beats Malaga there will be 3 games against Madrid, 1 Valencia away and 2 vs milan. The home games against teams like Osasuna, Getafe, etc are good games to rest some players and to use Thiago, Bartra, Masche Adriano, Montoya, Song, Alexis,Villa, Tello, Cuenca.
Hopefuly at the end of February Abidal will be ready to play. Would be a huge achievement.

Concerms surrounding Messi . He asked to be substituted tonight due to a couple of worrying muscle problems .

Not ideal to be playing the thuggish Real Madrid twice in the coming weeks .

Could get very , very nasty .

Pretty sure Messi is fine. And Ramos and Pepe are out for the games so Messi is still safe

Sad that we will be without both Adriano and Puyol for some time, especially when we need all hands on deck from now.

 

[Barcaman]

Look at it from the bright side, provided that Barca eliminates PSG, both Puyol and Adriano could come back for semi-finals.

 

[Flavia]

Masch got his 3rd yellow on the cl against psg, and he's suspended. He also picked up an injury on the game, and has a ruptured ligament in his right knee. The approximate time for recovery is 6 weeks

 

[Barcaman]

Ugh. That's just terrible.

 

[Flavia]

Adriano got his 3rd yellow card on the cl. He misses the next match.

 

[staggers]

Lionel Messi has been left out Barcelona's squad to face Zaragoza on Sunday, as have Andres Iniesta, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba.what do you think guys messi will not playing again till the semi final or will they give him a run out next week v levante? surely got to keep ticking over any thoughts?
