BARCELONA - Barcelona midfielder Andres
Iniesta will be out for around four weeks after he damaged a leg
muscle in the holders' Champions League Group H match at home to
AC Milan on Tuesday, the Spanish club said.
Iniesta was replaced by Spain team-mate Cesc Fabregas
shortly before half-time at the Nou Camp, before Barca conceded a
stoppage-time goal to draw 2-2 with the seven-times European
champions.
"Tests have confirmed that the player suffered damage to the
femoral biceps of the left leg," the La Liga club said in a
statement on their website.
"The approximate time he will be out of action is four
weeks," they added.
