  • Xavi: Hamstring injury

Midfielder Xavi may struggle to be fit in time for Barcelona's crucial Champions League match with AC Milan later this month following confirmation his hamstring injury is set to sideline him for up to 15 days.

The Spain international had only recently come back from a similar injury when he complained of discomfort following Wednesday's Copa del Rey semi-final second-leg defeat to Real Madrid.

According to a Barcelona statement on Friday, Xavi is likely to be out of action for "10 to 15 days".

That means that not only will the 33-year-old sit out Saturday's league clash with Madrid as expected, and next weekend's visit of Deportivo La Coruna, but he may now also miss the Champions League last-16 second leg against Milan on March 12.

Milan lead 2-0 from the first leg at the San Siro.

m starting to think Roman may never actually be happy at the top level. If he wants all conquering fancy football I wonder if he'd be better off buying a lower division side then paying outlandish salaries to attract high caliber players too good for the division.

afa has to be favourite for the Everton job now, surely :) He'll realise his ambition to live and work on Merseyside again, get the best out of whoever plays for them, maybe win some cups and be thoroughly loathed by the toffee fans. What's not to like? Go ead, Ken, gimajob!

hat is arguably the least inspiring England I have ever seen. There is not a single name in that list that makes me think I might actually want to watch this team. Not a one.
