Barca striker Javier Saviola suffered a torn thigh muscle and has been ruled out for four and six weeks. FC Barcelona´s medical department confirmed:

Saviola suffered a small tear in his left thigh muscle. The injury is in a risky area and it will take four to six weeks to recover.




After losing Eto'o for 5 month, then Messi for 3 month and now Saviola for 4-6 weeks, Barcelona coach Frank Rijkaard has a real attacking problem. In the absence of Saviola, Rijkaard now has four fit forwards (Ronaldinho, Ludovic Giuly, Santi Ezquerro and Eidur Gudjohnsen) available for selection in the next few weeks.
