The trip to Georgia, where the Spanish national team played the 2014 World Cup qualifying match, was costly for the team. Two Barcelona players returned to Barcelona after the trip with health problems - Andres Iniesta pulled a leg muscle, while Jordi Alba got the flu. Both players spent 90 minutes on the field against Georgia, but after the match, the right thigh of the defender began to hurt. Barcelona medics diagnosed a muscle strain. It is estimated that Iniesta will not be able to play for 10 to 15 days due to this injury. This means that one of the most important Barcelona players will not be able to help his team in the Spanish championship matches against Getafe and Granada, as well as miss the first Champions League match of the season at the Camp Nou stadium against Moscow's Spartak. Club doctors diagnosed the flu for Alba, the defender's temperature rose. According to initial data, the Catalan is recommended not to play in the away match against Getafe. An additional health check for the player is scheduled for Friday.
