Gabi Milito’s knee injury was worse than initially thought and he could be out for as much as nine months. In today’s operation surgeons needed to extract part of a tendon from his left leg and insert it into his right. This is terrible new for the player as injuries of this length can be career threatening. […]

Gabi Milito and Toure Yaya both go under the knife tomorrow (Tuesday) for operations on their injuries. Milito will have his cruciate ligament in his right knee seen to by Dr. Ramon Cugat at 2pm at the Clínica Quirón. While at 3.30pm Toure will have the operation on his slipped disk that he has bravely […]

Dreadful news for Gabi Milito and Barça as doctors today confirmed he will need an operation on the cruciate ligaments in his right knee.

Gabi Milito and Andres Iniesta have both been ruled out of Barça’s next two games, at home to Valencia on Sunday and Wednesday’s Clasico against Real Madrid. Milito is suffering from a cartilage problem while Iniesta has had a recurrence of his meniscus problems which forced him to miss the game at Recreativo. Iniesta is […]

 
Another month where it seems there is little to smile about. However, as usual when the chips are down our very own Captain Marvel, Carles Puyol, raises his game, and he thoroughly deserves to be named April Player of the Month. He was excellent in the quarter final games with Schalke, and stayed at a […]

Ronaldinho did not train today due to him feeling more discomfort in his adductor muscle. The chances of him playing on Sunday are now very slim.

Carles Puyol had to come off after 15 minutes with an ankle injury in Spain’s 1-0 win over Italy. The extent of the injury is not clear yet though it is not thought to be serious and he may be ok to play against Betis on Saturday. Andres Iniesta and Xavi Hernandez both completed the 90 […]

Andres Iniesta has had his last yellow card rescinded by the Appeal Committee and will now be available for Sunday’s game against Valladolid. Barça appealed against Iniesta’s card in the game against Almeria as well as Gabi Milito’s first yellow card. The appeal for Milito, however, was unsuccessful and he will miss Sunday’s game. The […]
