Edmilson returns to the hospital after just coming out hale and hearty.
The Brazilian was widely seen as the solution for Toure Yaya who has left Camp Nou to be with the Ivorien national team as they prepare for the African Nations Cup. Jose Edmilson has been out for six months, and was no doubt in great form since his return. In the 75th minute against Sevilla, the midfielder limped out and was later diagnosed with a slightly ruptured muscle that will see him out of action till February, as the injury wil take at least 2 weeks to heal. This comes as a big blow to defensive midfield plans in Barca, but the technical guru which Frank Rijkaard is has encouraged hope. The Dutchman will have to re-work his plans and pattern as well as players being fielded in what positions in order to accomodate the change coming after Edmilson's injury. The first test to this new selection will be against Murcia in 2 days time.
