Looking at that schedule, it's actually not that bad. If you are going to lose Messi for up to 8 weeks there could be worse times.
Considering he is returning to Buenos Aires for the second half of his treatment it seems very unlikely that he will be back for that Getafe match right before Xmas. Cesc now out for 7 days with a knee sprain. http://www.fcbarcelona.com/football...-in-for-injured-cesc-for-spain-internationals Is that just a convenient way for him to get out of the international dates? 7 days for a knee sprain recovery. Anyway, the good news is that Bartra is taking Cesc's place. Enhorabuena Marc! EDIT: Unclesox, Jordi Alba's injury history should be edited to show he got hurt on 10/10 with a six week return date, which should be after the international date. http://www.fcbarcelona.com/football/first-team/detail/article/jordi-alba-out-for-another-six-weeks
Valdés Medical report from the Spanish Federation says a suspected torn right calf muscle. Ultrasound/MRI to be conducted in Barcelona on Wednesday to determine full extent. Suggestions of a six week layoff. Pinto definitely to start this weekend against Granada
Six weeks! On the possibly good side, that's six week that culés around the world need to shower him with love, praises, and flowers by his hospital bedside to try and convince him to stay.

J24 (H) Rayo Vallecano Neymar receives all-clear! No new additions. Really unsure how to treat Cuenca's situation. He received medical clearance back in October but there's doubt by some in the organization on whether he's 100% and he's yet to be included in any squad lists. I noticed Gilmango's post that he's refused to spend time with the 'B' squad, so for now I guess I'll continue to list him amongst the injured players.
