Andres Iniesta returns to full training
The Spanish midfielder, Andres Iniesta, got injured after an away fixture that took place on the home ground of Hercules.
The Catalan star was roughly tackled and fell on his back, which caused an upper back sprain. With that injury, Iniesta was kept out of action during the second leg of the semifinal against Almeria and he did not even make the bench.
The Spanish midfielder, Andres Iniesta, showed poor fitness last season while performing for his childhood club, Barcelona. The Catalan Giants missed his services for almost half of the season because of two injuries that he suffered while playing.
The Spanish midfielder was expected to play extraordinarily well but with him out, Barcelona had to play the former Sevilla midfielder, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Javier-Mascherano-c18071, who played
for the Spanish Champions.
After an injury plagued season, Andres Iniesta, finally made a return against Valladolid – the last game of the Spanish La Liga. It was the day that had to decide the Spanish La Liga title between Real Madrid and Barcelona.
The Catalan Giants won the game and Andres Iniesta was able to come out with flying colours. With that performance, the Spanish coach, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vicente-c36001 Del Bosque, decided to select him for the Spanish national team.
Andres Iniesta showed great form in the FIFA World Cup 2010 and scored the winning goal of the final match against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Netherlands-c753.
After scoring the last goal of the prestigious tournament held in Africa, Andres Iniesta has kept his form alive in front of the Catalan fans and has showed great consistency throughout the season.
The first goal that he scored against Racing Santander – the first goal of the season – is still considered to be the best goal of the season.
Andres Iniesta continued to show his great form and even managed to find the back of the net more than in any other season – seven.
But during his strong run of form, he faced another injury while playing against Hercules. Iniesta was roughly tackled on the sideline as he suffered a back sprain. Precautionary measures were taken by manager, Josep Guardiola, as he replaced him with the
Dutch youngster, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ibrahim-Afellay-c16547, after only a minute.
Barcelona have to face Atletico Madrid in their home ground on Sunday. It was a hard fought win while being away from home against the “other” Madrid side.
The odds are that Barcelona is going to continue on an all-winning streak.
However, no one can be too sure of the results. One thing that is for sure is the fact that Andres Iniesta has returned to full squad training along with seventeen other players that were called up by Josep Guardiola. With this news, Barcelona fans can be
happy that their first choice midfielder is back to perform for their team.
