Despues de 3 meses... vuelvo a correr!! / After 3 months... I come back to run!! Cinta antigravedad al… http://t.co/7ZOkEzTlsl— Jonathan Dos Santos (@jona2santos) February 21, 2014
Bartra injured , only masch available tomorrow , so Song or Busi need to take the second CB position ( or i dunno Tata brings someone from Barca B )
Neymar Out for a month, injury in his left foot , still not sure to stay in Barca or travel to Brazil to recover before the worldcup. Alba out for a month , Tear in the back of his right thigh , out for the rest of the season.
Best LB in the world by far. I have said this before Adriano does a good job but Alba is a class of his own
But when it comes to shooting , Adriano is the best whether it's his left foot or right foot , no one in the team can even be close to comparing to him.
Annnnd ter Stegen injures his back in training. So much for my suggestion for a "Who will injure themselves first in training?" prop for the prediction thread.
As long as Bravo wasn't seen walking away from the training ground with a baseball bat, we'll manage.
But Ter Stegen was cleared the same day. Here's a link, glad Messi and Iniesta are still able to train but miss meaningless internationals (also amazed this link is from a local paper, how even in mainstream America this is news now): http://www.sfgate.com/sports/article/Barcelona-says-new-goalie-Ter-Stegen-fit-to-play-5727875.php
Bump. Looks like this thread is due to be activated again, unfortunately. Iniesta and Messi both carried injuries in El Clásico.
Vermaelen suffers hamstring injury http://www.goal.com/en/news/12/spai...suffers-hamstring-injury?ICID=HP_HN_HP_RI_1_3
Vermaelen Out for 5 months it's amazing how zubi fvcks things up and nobody bother to do anything , i mean if the club is owned by 1 person ( and that person likes him ) i would understand but it is owned by sooooo many people , can they not complain when this clown wastes MILLIONS of euros on transfers year after year after year ?!?!?!??!
We've been lucky this season: I had to dig this thread out of the 2nd page of the forum... Anyway, Busquets is out with a high ankle sprain. Will miss Rayo, Eibar, and probably Man City. Aiming for a Clásico return. Also, Vermaelen (remember him?) had an injury setback but is running with the squad now. Target: April return.
Vermaelen is practically done for this season anyway. I mean, just started running, and the team is hitting the run that decides all the titles. If I was Lucho, I wouldn't play him too much. He is 29, so might have some years in Barca playing well. But that starts the next season. We'll see.
Take a look at Messi's foot. Usually an injury during the international break is to be looked at skeptically. But he played through Man City and LPB with this lump. http://www.sport.es/es/noticias/barca/asi-esta-inflado-pie-leo-messi-4069233 ...unless of course it's photoshopped.
