Barcelona captain Andres Iniesta has given his side something to cheer as he was sighted training with the Catalan club ahead of their Wednesday’s Champions League clash against Chelsea at the Camp Nou.
The 33-year-old was initially ruled out of the crucial second leg encounter between the two top European campaigners following the injury he picked up in their slim victory over Atletico Madrid last weekend.
Due to the knock, Iniesta wasn’t listed for the Blaugrana in their 2-0 win away at Malaga over the weekend at the Estadio La Rosaleda which further cements their leadership on the Spanish League table.
