Alves joins Barca’s swelling injury list
Print Edition
Fullback Dani Alves has joined Barcelona’s lengthy injury list after tests yesterday confirmed he had damaged a calf muscle on duty with Brazil.
“The length of time he will be sidelined is approximately seven to 10 days,” the Spanish champion said on its website. Alves, whose place is likely to be filled by Martin Montoya or Adriano, will miss tomorrow’s La Liga game at home to Granada and Tuesday’s Champions League Group H match at Ajax Amsterdam. Barcelona already has five players out of action: World Player of the Year Lionel Messi (thigh), goalkeeper Victor Valdes (calf), defenders Gerard Pique (groin) and Jordi Alba (thigh) and midfielder Cesc Fabregas (knee). Playmaker Xavi (hamstring) and winger Cristian Tello (ankle) are also doubtful for tomorrow. Barcelona leads Atletico Madrid by three points.
