Iniesta out with knee injury

Madrid (AFP) – Barcelona captain Andres Iniesta will be out for two weeks after picking up a knock in the the 2-0 first leg Super Cup win over Sevilla this weekend, the club said on Monday.

The injury means the 32-year-old picked up a strained knee in the first game of the season on Sunday, and will miss the return leg at Camp Nou on August 17.

Jeremy Mathieu also tore a thigh muscle in the game and Barcelona said the defender would be out for around three weeks.
