Barcelona have refused to put a timescale on captain Andres Iniesta’s return to action and he may miss the Champions League clash with Chelsea.
Iniesta lasted just 34 minutes of Sunday’s top-of-the-table clash at Camp Nou, and Barca’s official website immediately confirmed the presence of “a hamstring injury in his right leg”.
Catalunya Radio then claimed the problem could keep the midfielder out for as long as a month, explaining “everything points to a small tear” and he is yet to return to training.
The last statement from the Catalan club, who usually disclose timetabled returns, said ‘Andres will return to action upon his return to fitness’.
If the worst fears come true, the 33-year-old will miss Barca’s upcoming games against Malaga, Athletic Bilbao, Sevilla in La Liga, as well as the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie with Chelsea and Spain’s friendlies against Germany and Argentina on March 23 and 27.
