Jose Edmilson who has been sidelined since his knee operation in June, has received the all clear to play again. The Brazilian had suffered problems with his knee ever since he was injured back in October 2004 in a game against Numancia. Edmilson has been training with his teammates for the last couple of weeks to get back to […]

Thierry Henry this morning received medical clearance to play in Sunday’s big game at Camp Nou with Real Madrid. Henry hasn’t played since Barça’s 3-0 win over Recreativo on November 25, and it is unlikely that he will be named in the starting XI, but he will certainly be a useful substitute to bring on […]

The good news today is that Thierry Henry is improving rapidly and may finally be fit in time for El Clasico on Sunday. Henry began this morning’s training session doing his own special preparation, but he joined in with his teammates at the end of the session for a mini-match of half an hour. Henry […]

Good news today as Deco trained normally without any problems. Deco didn’t feel right during the warm-up to last night’s match with Stuttgart, and decided it was better not to take any risks. Toure Yaya also trained with the other players and should be available for Saturday’s game at Valencia.

Toure Yaya who missed yesterday’s match due to sinusitis could be available to play against Stuttgart in Wednesday night’s Champions League match. Toure didn’t train today but is expected to take part in tomorrow’s training session and should be ready to play at least a part of the Stuttgart game. Eric Abidal also missed training today after […]

Toure Yaya is suffering from flu and could miss Sunday’s game with Deportivo. The Ivory Coast midfielder has missed the last two days of training and may not recover in time for the match. He is said to have fever, migraine and an inflammation of the sinuses. The return of Deco is also under question; […]

Samuel Eto’o today received medical clearance to return to action against Deportivo this Sunday (kick off 9pm). Eto’o was injured on the 29th August in the Joan Gamper match against Inter Milan. All reports say that he has been training at an excellent level and if needed he could play 90 minutes this weekend.

Thierry Henry’s back problems could mean he misses the big clash with Real Madrid the weekend before christmas. According to the club webpage, Henry is suffering from discopathy in his spine in the vertebrae L5-S1. This is a dehydration of the intervertebral disc which is apparently linked to a genetic problem.

The injury that Giovani dos Santos picked up in the cup game at Alcoyano is proving to be more complicated than at first thought. Doctors originally estimated that he would need one week to return to action and he has now been 18 days on the sidelines. Today the news is that he will need […]

Thierry Henry’s lower back problems continue and he was today ruled out of Saturday’s derby with Espanyol. Sylvinho who has problems with his left knee, will also miss the game, joining Edmilson, Oleguer, Deco and Eto’o on the injured list. Messi and Gudjohnsen both have minor muscle strains but should be OK for Saturday.
