Andres Iniesta suffers thigh injury

Zlatan Ibrahimovic's 63rd minute strike earned the visitors a hard
fought win and takes them to the top of La Liga at least for now,
pending Real Madrid's result.

It was not all rosy, Andres Iniesta was substituted on the 50th
minutes because of the pain he felt in his thigh. The midfielder was
replaced by Argentine Leo Messi.
The 26-year-old might not make the trip to North London to face the
Gunners in the Champions League next week. albeit the club in an
official statement maintained that the full extent of any injury will
be determined only after further tests have been carried out today.

Pep Guardiola in his post match interview told reporters that there
was no cause for alarm, and that the early prognostic was "in
principle, good."

Iniesta desperate to face Fabregas

Barcelona's midfield orchestrator Andreas Iniesta, has revealed that
he can't wait to play against his boy-hood friend Cesc Fabregas.

Andreas Iniesta is no common midfielder - he has only played for one
club in his illustrious career so far and that team is Barcelona.
The dimunitive midfielder has managed more than 200 appearances for
Barcelona and he has contributed his fair share of goals to the Barca
cause.

But, paramount on the midfielder's agenda is Arsenal and he hopes to
show our captain what he's really capable of: "Playing against Cesc is
not easy and there will be a great battle in the midfield area,"he
said.

He acknowledged that it won't be easy, but he maintained that Fabregas
was Arsenal's password to victory and he's willing to make 'stopping
Cesc' a priority.

"I have known Cesc for years and I'm sure we will have a hug before
each game, but once the whistle goes I will be doing everything to win
the game.
Cesc is a fantastic player and we have to stop him, especially in the
first game."
