Barcelona have been dealt a blow in the build-up to Wednesday's Champions League clash with Arsenal after it was confirmed that Andres Iniesta will miss the first leg of the quarter-final encounter at the Emirates Stadium with a hamstring injury.

The midfielder had to be replaced just after half-time on Saturday as Barca edged to a 1-0 win at Real Mallorca.

Tests have confirmed that the Spain international is likely to be sidelined for approximately ten days.

As well as the midweek game in north London, Iniesta seems certain to miss next weekend's La Liga match with Athletic Bilbao.

The 25-year-old has featured in 27 of Barcelona's 29 league matches so far this season, as well as being an ever-present in the Champions League.
