The Spanish defender, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gerard-c14664 Pique, picked up an ankle injury during the UEFA Champions League fixture against Spartak Moscow and with El Clasico coming up, La Blaugrana want him to make a speedy recovery.
The first-choice Barcelona centre-back, Gerard Pique, injured himself during the game against Spartak Moscow in the UEFA Champions League.
Since then http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Javier-Mascherano-c18071, in the centre-back role.
Pique is one of Barcelona’s few miseries as their other first-choice defender, Carles Puyol, has also dislocated his elbow during the game against Benfica over the midweek and that means that the Catalan giants will be without both their first-choice defenders
when they take on the challenge of Real Madrid over the upcoming weekend.
Barcelona will be hosting Real Madrid, and Los Blancos will try to snatch all three points away from La Blaugrana, who have won all their six La Liga fixtures this season.
The Catalan giants are currently at the top of the Spanish La Liga, sitting eight points above their arch-rivals, Real Madrid.
Therefore, this is going to be Real Madrid’s first chance to bridge the gap between them and Barcelona and Jose Mourinho is going to try his best do so.
However, with Gerard Pique missing from the first team and Carles Puyol also sidelined for eight weeks, Tito Vilanova is currently hoping this Pique makes a speedy recovery right before El Clasico.
The club doctors have not totally denied the fact that Pique will be missing from the game against Real Madrid and currently the Spanish defender is facing a race against time as he wants to recover before El Clasico.
Barcelona currently require the services of their centre-back, especially after losing http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Karim-Benzema-c20350, Gonzalo Higuain and Cristiano
Ronaldo is by adding a player like Pique back in the first-team.
The two sides will collide on 7th of October and while Gerard Pique is a doubt to play against Madrid, Andres Iniesta has finally returned to first-team action after recovering from a thigh injury.
