www.fcbarcelona.cat
Seydou Keita will miss Wednesday’s Champions League clash with Basle after picking up a calf sprain against Bilbao this evening, Marquez, who limped off in the second half, and Toure who finished the game with a back strain will have tests on Monday.
No bones broken
Seydou Keita was taken to a Bilbao clinic after being carried off when he twisted over on his ankle on the half hour, but fortunately there proved to be no broken bones. More tests will be needed this Monday to establish the full extent of the injury, but the African is definitely out for Wednesday’s game. Toure will also undergo tests on Monday after he strained a muscle in his back after falling badly at a corner.
Valdés, captain
With Xavi rested and Puyol on the bench, keeper Víctor Valdés captained the team until Puyol took
over the captain’s armband when he came on for Marquez on 65 minutes.
