Barca’s Turan out for three weeks

Barcelona: Barcelona’s Turkish midfielder Arda Turan will be out for around three weeks because of a “muscular injury in his right thigh”, the Catalan club said Wednesday.

Medical examinations revealed a “damaged adductor muscle”, leaving the midfielder out of the squad for “approximatively three weeks”, Barca said in a statement.

The injury means he will miss La Liga games against Granada and Sevilla, as well as likely sitting out the April 11 Champions League quarter-final at Juventus. (AFP)
