On Sunday, the club announced that the defender of this team and the Italian national team will not be able to play for at least a month due to a torn left leg muscle.

G. Zambrotta suffered the injury in the Club World Cup final match against the team of Porto Alegre's "Internacional". The European champions lost this match 0-1 to the South American champions.

"The player will undergo further examinations when the team returns to Barcelona, at the moment it is estimated that he will be out of action for about 4 weeks," - stated in the club's press release.

Most likely, the 29-year-old Italian will not be able to help the team in the last match of this year against Madrid's "Atletico" club, and in the first matches of 2007 against the team of "Getafe".
