OFFICIAL: Andrés Iniesta Injury Report

Turns out Andrés Iniesta didn't suffer the worst injury of all time.

The Barcelona captain, who was forced out of Tuesday's Champions League game against Bayer Leverkusen after sustaining a leg injury, was diagnosed with a right hamstring injury, the club announced shortly after the end of the match.

While the club doesn't go into a lot more details -- other than saying he'll be watched and carefully treated for the next couple of days to see when he can return to training --, sources told Barça Blaugranes that this is not a hamstring tear, but a sprain, which is good news and it means a three-week absence, at worst.
