Some said he would be out for 6 months.

By this rate we won't have a squad left in a few weeks

bah, shame.. but at least its not any worse.

Wish him the best with his recovery. Bit of a shame as youd expect him to get starts in a few of those games. Thankfully iniesta is back now..

Jesus Christ , what's with all these injuries ? Hope he gets well soon.

Liga World Youtube said it was a rupture to the inner collateral ligament (translated from Spanish), and not garbage.com's medial collateral ligament rupture.

What would be with all these injuries?
In any case, I prefer him on the bench.
