Spanish midfielder, Andres Iniesta, is a major doubt for Barcelona's return leg Champions League clash with Chelsea at the Camp Nou after suffering a hamstring injury in Sunday's La Liga match with Atletico Madrid.
The 33-year-old Barca legend limped off after 36 minutes at the Nou Camp having suffered the problem around the 22nd minute in his side clash against Atletico Madrid.
The La Liga giants confirmed the hamstring injury and said Iniesta will undergo tests to ascertain how long he will be sidelined.

However, he remain a huge doubt for the second leg of the last-16 tie against Chelsea at the Nou Camp on March 14, with the scores tied at 1-1 following the first match.
The tie was delicately-poised after Lionel Messi cancelled out Willian's opener in the first leg at Stamford Bridge on February 20.
Iniesta is almost certain to miss Barcelona's visit to Malaga on Saturday evening, March 10 as well.
