for the Recreativo game. .
Henry and Oleguer don’t go
Thierry Henry and Oleguer Presas, neither of whom trained
this Sunday, won’t be travelling to Lyon. The French striker has back and pubis problems, and
wouldn’t be at 100%. His availability for upcoming games will depend on his recovery.
In the case of Oleguer, medical staff have said that he is suffering from a hamstring injury
in his right leg, and will be undergoing close monitoring over the next few days.
Carles Puyol will be travelling to Lyon, though; having recovered from the blow to his ribs
he received in the Recre game.
