As the League stops once again, Guardiola will be without 12 key players for the next few days due to international commitments. Only France and the Ukraine are playing games with something major at stake, a place in the 2010 World Cup.


There will be no official matches for FC Barcelona over the next few days, and eleven first team players and Andreu Fontàs of the reserves will all be elsewhere.

Keita, with Mali, and Jeffren, with the Spain under-21 team, both stay behind with injuries, as does Ibrahimovic, who has yet to recover from a thigh injury.
