Arda Turan has picked up a groin injury on Turkey duty, but the problem is not believed to be serious.

Barcelona's Arda Turan has suffered a groin injury and will miss Turkey's friendly match with Moldova on Monday, the Turkish Football Federation have confirmed.

The TFF confirmed in a statement that the 30-year-old has been left out of Fatih Terim's matchday squad after failing to recover sufficiently from the problem.

It is reported that Arda's injury is not serious and it is unlikely to keep him out of Barcelona's La Liga match with Granada on Sunday.
