Barcelona new signing Arda Turan out indefinitely with ankle injury

Bad news (kind of) for Barcelona as the Blaugrana prepares for a week of two friendlies.

New team signing Arda Turan suffered a high ankle sprain on Friday's first training session and immediately left the activity to test the injury and start his rehabilitation process.

Arda Turan twisted his ankle during Friday morning training and the verdict is that he has a second degree sprain in the external ligaments. He will now need to be subjected to more thorough testing which should shed more light on his availability over the next few days.
