Although the forecasts say that Andrés Iniesta will be between 3 and 4 weeks of drop, from 'Sport' stir the possibility that the manchego can 'force' to be present in the turn of eighth of the UEFA Champions League against Chelsea

Calendar of FC Barcelona

The captain of the FC Barcelona, Andrés Iniesta, suffers an injury in the biceps femoral of the right leg and had to be relieved of the field in front of the Athletic of Madrid this Sunday, in the second half, to the not being able to continue on the green. Already in the bench, carried the hands in command in a gesture of despair when understanding that the injury was grave, and that would lose a big quantity of parties in the weeks to come.

Well, although the main sportive means Catalans valued the injury of Iniesta in a period of recovery from among three and four weeks, the newspaper 'Sport' has started this Monday with the novelty that Iniesta could 'force' to star a new 'miracle' against Chelsea and have minutes in the turn of the eighth of final of the Champions League.

Iniesta, optimistic in spite of the injury

It treats of a risky idea, unlikely and with a point of madness, but that still can not descartarse of the everything. The own Iniesta, after the party of this Sunday against the Athletic of Madrid, already published an optimistic message through the social networks in which not even it spoke of the injury, centring in the victory harvested in front of the rojiblancos and in that it already remains "a day less", although it does not know if this wrote it in reference to the achievement of the title of League or to his recovery.

The case is that the next days will be key to value the evolution of Andrés Iniesta, the one who probably was subjected to more medical proofs to check if possible arrive to time for the dispute of the meeting against Chelsea, the next 14 March.

Dembélé, title against Chelsea?

It will be almost impossible, and if Andrés Iniesta does not arrive finally to the party Ernesto Valverde will have to bet by other midfield players like Paulinho, Sergi Roberto, André Gomes or can even that Denis Suárez, the one who carries 13 consecutive parties unpublished with the T-shirt of the Barça.

Another option is that the FC Barcelona happen to play with a 4-3-3 and that, in addition to a centre of the field populated with Busquets, Rakitic and Paulinho (that it seems fixed in the alignment against Chelsea), Ousmane Dembélé have fit in the forward. Coutinho, remember, will not be able to play.
