Andrés Iniesta and Yaya Touré both face a race to be fit for the first leg of FC Barcelona's UEFA Champions League quarter-final against FC Bayern München after the midfield pair picked up identical injuries during Sunday’s 6-0 Liga home win over Málaga CF.
Concerns
Touré, 25, was replaced in the 25th minute after failing to recover from a challenge with opposition full-back Nacho and was later diagnosed with a small tear to his right adductor muscle. The 24-year-old Iniesta, who has been restricted to 19 Liga appearances this season because of injury problems, lasted an hour before being forced off with the same complaint. Both players have been given an estimated recovery time of 15 days.
Bayern encounter
To make matters worse, Xavi Hernández also hurt his achilles though he remains in the Spain squad for their FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Turkey. Josep Guardiola's side welcome Bayern on 8 April with the return leg in Munich taking place six days later.
