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.

Toure Yaya has been added to the injured list for tomorrow’s game with Valencia after he injured his ankle in this morning’s training session. First reports say he will also be doubtful for Wednesday’s game at Real Madrid.

 
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 […]

While Toure Yaya’s attitude and commitment are commendable, I really feel it is time for him to take the operation on his slipped disk. Toure says that apart from a few sharp momentary pains he is capable of playing on with the help of injections but his performances in the last two games are below […]

According to the club website Toure Yaya is suffering from a discal hernia which if I’m not mistaken is called a herniated disc or slipped disc in English.

Toure Yaya is doubtful for Sunday’s game against Villarreal after pulling out of today’s training session with back problems. Toure was left out of last week’s game at Atletico Madrid with similar problems but managed 67 minutes of the game against Celtic before being substituted. The club, however, have not ruled him out completely for […]

All in all it’s been a pretty good month for Barça. Undeafeted in six games with four victories and two draws. The month would have been a lot worse if it hadn’t been for the four goals scored by this month’s winner, Xavi Hernández. Xavi got a late winner at home to Osasuna and followed […]

It was not to be for Ivory Coast and Toure Yaya who were soundly beaten by Egypt in tonight’s second semi final in Kumasi. Egypt will now face Samuel Eto’o and Cameroon who they already beat 4-2 in the first game of the group stage. Egypt took an early lead from Ahmed Fathy’s deflected shot, […]

Barça will have to make do for one more game without Toure Yaya and Samuel Eto’o. Toure’s Ivory Coast qualified for Thursday’s semi-finals thrashing Guinea 5-0 in Sekondi on Sunday. They now play Egypt on Thursday in Kumasi for a place in the final, kick off is at 9.30 (Spanish time). Cameroon and Eto’o beat Tunisia […]
