Maxwell, who was called in to cover for the injured Adriano, also finished the game with problems after picking up a groin strain and Guardiola will not know the full extent of his injury until tests on Sunday, but should he be out for any length of time, the boss will be faced with having to improvise a left back with Adriano and Abidal both out too.
Another reason why we shouldn't have sold Eto'o..
So, the availability of both players, according to the FC Barcelona Medical Services will depend on their recovery from their respective injuries. Both Milito and Maxwell underwent ultrasound and MRI scans this morning, which confirmed the diagnostics from Saturday after the game: a small calf pull in his right leg in the case of Milito and a groin strain in Maxwell’s case.
