Spain : Primera Liga injured & suspended list (with statistics)

Andres Iniesta has been told that he will be out of action for at least two months after returning from the Spain squad to undergo tests in Barcelona. The midfielder was called up by Vicente del Bosque despite stating that he was injured and doctors agreed that he will not appear in the forthcoming Confederations Cup. An MRI on Friday morning showed that Iniesta has torn a muscle in his right leg and will have to spend the next 6 to 8 weeks trying to regain full fitness.

Meanwhile, Barcelona defender Gabriel Milito underwent a second arthroscopic surgery on his right knee on Friday. The Argentine defender hasn't played since last year after tearing a knee ligament. The 28-year-old center back previously injured the same knee eight years ago.

Barcelona midfielder Andres Iniesta will miss league finale against Deportivo La Coruna after it was revealed that he has an injury to his right leg. Coach Pep Guardiola warned the Spanish Football Federation not to risk Iniesta's health at next month's Confederations Cup. "Be careful with Andres' injury. It's a dangerous situation with him having just recovered for the final," Guardiola said. "We have to take great care of his professional future ... because neither the national team nor Barca can afford to lose him".

Defender Daniel Alves will miss Barcelona's remaining two league matches against Osasuna and Deportivo La Coruna after he injured his right foot. The Brazilian international, who is suspended for the UEFA Champions League final, sustained the injury in training on Wednesday. Alves will be out of action for three weeks.

Meanwhile, midfielder Andres Iniesta and striker Thierry Henry did light training on Thursday and are on course to play in Wednesday's final against Manchester United. Spain international Iniesta has a thigh problem and Frenchman Henry a knee injury but both have recovered enough to do ball work.

Sevilla captain Javi Navarro has confirmed his retirement after two years on the sidelines struggling to overcome a right knee injury. The 35-year-old central defender had been with Sevilla for eight years lifting UEFA Cups in 2006 and 2007, the 2006 UEFA Super Cup and, the following year, the Spanish Super Cup and the King's Cu. However, Navarro has not played a game over the last two seasons.

Winger David Silva has been ruled out for up to three weeks due to a muscle injury in his right leg. The worst-case scenario would mean the influential Spanish international misses all three of Valencia's remaining matches this season. Losing Silva is a huge blow to the cash-strapped club, who are chasing a UEFA Champions League place for next season. Valencia are currently fourth in the Primera Division standings, four points behind third-placed Sevilla and one ahead of fifth-placed Atletico Madrid.

Andres Iniesta will miss Wednesday's King's Cup final against Athletic Bilbao with a thigh muscle tear. The Spain midfielder, who scored the equaliser against Chelsea which put Barcelona into the UEFA Champions League final, picked up the injury during Sunday's 3-3 home draw against Villarreal.

Iniesta will undergo further tests determine the extent of the problem and is reportedly in doubt for the final against Manchester United on May 27. Barcelona are expected to face United without suspended defenders Eric Abidal and Daniel Alves, while striker Thierry Henry is questionable with a right knee injury.

Real Madrid could be without French midfielder Lassana Diarra against Valencia. Diarra has a flu and he failed to show up at any training sessions this week. The medical team will assess situation before the game, but the coach Ramos will not want to take any risks that could harm his player. The good news is that Wesley Sneijder and Guti are well on their way to completing their recoveries. The pair trained on the turf for the first time in two weeks, but worked alone under the supervision of fitness-expert Santi Lozano.

Thierry Henry will miss next four games because of his strained right knee ligament. The France striker was undergoing specific treatment to try and ensure that he can play in Rome against Manchester United. Henry injured his knee during Barcelona's 6-2 win at Real Madrid on Saturday. The 31-year-old striker has been one of the keys to Barcelona's bid to become the first Spanish team to win the treble of Europe's top club competition and the domestic league and cup double. He has scored 25 goals in 39 appearances this season.

Midfieders Wesley Sneijder and Guti missed training on Wednesday and could miss this weekend's Primera Division match at Valencia. Sneijder is struggling with a torn leg muscle while Guti has an ankle sprain. Michel Salgado sat out Real Madrid's 6-2 home defeat to Barcelona last weekend but was able to train and is expected to be fit enough to feature at the Mestalla.

Sergio Aguero is a doubt for Atletico Madrid's trip to Real Betis after failing to train with the team Friday. Aguero only carried out some stretching and exercises. He did not work with the ball or with the rest of his team-mates. The news will be a major blow for Abel Resino who, without Aguero, will either have to change formation, or play with Florent Sinama-Pongolle alongside Diego Forlan.

Midfielder Guti will miss this Saturday's "Clasico" match at home to league leaders Barcelona with an ankle injury. He picked up the problem during training on Wednesday and will play no part in the top-of-the-table encounter. Guti has joined Ruud van Nistelrooy, Arjen Robben, Gabriel Heinze, Mahamadou Diarra, Ruben De la Red and Wesley Sneijder on Real Madrid's injury list.

Mehmet Aurelio is set to miss the rest of the season for Real Betis and could even be out for the start of the next one after being told he needs to undergo surgery. The Brazilian-born Turkish midfielder will have an operation to repair his damaged knee after scans showed that the problem could not be rectified by rest and exercises. Already suffering from cartilage damage, Aurelio aggravated the injury on Wednesday in the defeat against Valencia.
