After withdrawal of
Spain’s squad for the welcoming against Uruguay, midfielder Xavi Hernandez
faces a race against time to be fit for FC Barcelona’s round of 16 encounters
with AC Mila. FC Barcelona midfielder Xavi Hernandez is expected to return just
in time for the UEFA Champions League round of 16 first-leg encounter away to
AC Milan on 20 February despite the 33-year-old suffering a hamstring tear.
After
completing almost all of the Liga leaders’ 1-1 draw against Valencia CF at
Mestalla on Sunday, Xavi complained of discomfort in his right leg and
following tests was quickly removed from the Spain squad to face Uruguay in
Doha on Wednesday. It has since been announced that the UEFA EURO 2012 winner a
scorer of six goals in 33 appearances in all competitions for Barça this season
will be out of action for up to 15 days, meaning he will miss his team’s league
games against Getafe CF and Granada CF as he attempts to recover in time for
the encounter with Milan at San Siro.
Member midfielder Alex Song, meanwhile,
has pulled out of Cameroon’s friendly against Tanzania and is receiving
treatment on a left knee complaint at Barcelona headquarters. The Blaugrana’s
second-leg against Massimiliano Allegri’s side will take place on 12 March at
the Camp Nou. Buy Champions League Tickets 2013 at May Fair Global Events. May
