The Kop Gang: Barcelona Iniesta Photos

Italian club Juventus reported to sign Barcelona midfielder Andres Iniesta. Juventus already made a bid for Iniesta but still no response from Barca side.

Andres Iniesta is midfielder player who can play in a variety of midfield roles. Andres Iniesta has good skill on the ball, great passing and movement all rounded off with a sound footballing brain. His superb passing has unhinged many resolute defences. Iniesta current contract with FC Barcelona ends in June of 2010.The Barcelona medical staff has announced that Barcelona attacker Andrés Iniesta (24) has suffered a rupture of a quadriceps muscle in the front of his right thigh during yesterday's game against Basel.
Further medical tests today have established the full extent of the injury and have confirmed that the player will be out for six to eight weeks.

Barca, who are without striker Bojan Krkic through injury, may not be at full strength heading into the third of four ‘Clasicos’ with Madrid in the space of 18 days, but Iniesta is still in optimistic mood.

“We would all have settled for being where we are in the league, being in the Champions League semi finals and playing the Copa del Rey final,” said Iniesta, who is available for Barca having escaped an extra one-game ban by UEFA after being cleared of allegedly getting deliberately booked in the quarter-final first leg against Shakhtar Donetsk.

“We have to go out with what we’ve got. We have to find strength where there is none. The players are fine, and we are focused on what we have ahead of us. And what we have ahead of us is something very nice indeed to focus on.”

The Spain international, whose last-minute goal earned Barca a semi-final win against Chelsea two years ago before the Catalan club went on to beat Manchester United in the final, added on his club’s website: “It will be tough and difficult, but we have a positive attitude and are very excited to know that we are very close to being in another final.
