Andrés Iniesta goes through more tests, set to miss at least one month with injury

After sustaining an injury in the UEFA Champions League game on Tuesday, Barcelona midfielder and captain Andrés Iniesta went through more detailed tests one day later to find out the exact problem, as well as the deadline. And it is worrisome.

The Spanish international and Blaugrana legend has a full tear in his right hamstring, worse than the initial diagnosis of a muscle sprain, which now extends the expected timetable for his return. Instead of missing two to three weeks, Iniesta will be out for at least four, which is the minimum deadline to recover from this type of muscular damage.
