Iniesta Could Be Out For Six Weeks

Barça's inability to maintain their 100% Champions League record and eleven game winning streak was not the only source of disappointment on Tuesday night.

Midfielder Iniesta was withdrawn after 67 minutes of play at Camp Nou due to a knock, and it later transpired that this may be something more serious than first feared.

Sport claim that the early diagnosis for the Albacete-born ace is one of a torn muscle that could take up to a month and a half to heal properly.

If this is later confirmed then it means that the Spanish international is in severe danger of missing the impending Clásico against Real Madrid on the weekend of December 14th.

Coupled with the 1-1 home draw with the Swiss side, it is set to be a grim evening for the Culers, who must wait until the 24-year-old undergoes further testing tomorrow to learn fully of his fate.

For now, though, at least a month out is the prediction.
