He's out for a few games due to lumbalgia traumatica, or lower-back injuries. No timetable is certain for a return, but the doctors are trying to get him ready by the Roma match.
When we played BL in Germany, Zizou got injured. And now, this one too! The artical also says something about Owen starting, which is a good thing. But it also mentioins that Raul might play out of his position :/ Well, how about having Solari there? Hope to have Zidane back before Roma clash . Looking at Barca's next two or three matches, its unlikely to see 'em losing points. We have H - Levante ... A - Villareal ... H - Sociedad .... No chance to slip.
I would rather see Solari on the left than Raul, so hopefully he won't go with the starting eleven that makes it possible for more 'galacticos' to play, but instead for the one that lets more players play on their usual positions.
yesterday as said that celades would likely play in place of zidane against levante (meaning beckham on the right and figo on the left? or beckham on the bench and raul on the left with owen up top?) - they also said that GR was likely to use the 'copa del rey team' against villareal, which is owen and morientes up top, solari and juanfran on the wings, borja and celades/javi garcia in the middle, arbeloa/mejia/pavon/r. bravo in back, but with casillas in goal.
