Iniesta doubtful for CL final
By Football Espana staff
Barcelona midfielder Andres Iniesta could miss the Champions League final after leaving the Copa del Rey final prematurely with a suspected calf injury.
The 31-year-old was replaced by Xavi Hernandez just 10 minutes into the second half of the Catalans’ 3-1 victory over Athletic Bilbao at Camp Nou.
Mundo Deportivo claims Iniesta incurred discomfort in his soleus muscle, making him a doubt for the Berlin showpiece against Juventus next weekend.
Barca are yet to issue a statement regarding the extent of the Spain international’s injury, but his Coach Luis Enrique was in positive spirits after the Copa final.
“[Iniesta] felt some discomfort, but he hasn’t seen the doctors yet,” he said.
“He was jumping in our [post-match] celebrations, so I hope it’s not serious and that he’s available for the final in Berlin.”

Andres Iniesta could miss the UEFA Champions League final with a calf injury, although Barcelona coach Luis Enrique remains hopeful.
Barcelona coach Luis Enrique played down concerns over Andres Iniesta's injured calf, although the midfielder could miss the UEFA Champions League final.
Iniesta was substituted in the 56th minute of Barcelona's Copa del Rey triumph on Saturday, with the 31-year-old immediately putting ice on his right calf.
Reports in the Spanish media claim Iniesta will have scans on the injury on Sunday, although Luis Enrique argued the Spain international should be fine, considering how he celebrated Barca's 3-1 victory over Athletic Bilbao.
"I hope it's not serious and that he can play in Berlin," the 45-year-old coach said, according to AS.
"I saw him jumping during the cup celebrations."
Iniesta nevertheless looks set to face a race against the clock to be ready for the Champions League final next week, as Luis Enrique confirmed he "felt discomfort".
Barcelona will face Juventus in the Champions League decider on Saturday.
