Barcelona says defender Adriano is doubtful for Wednesday's second leg of the Spanish Super Cup after injuring his right leg.

The Spanish club says Adriano ''strained a muscle in his right leg'' after scoring the winner in Sunday's 1-0 victory over Malaga. He was substituted at halftime of the Spanish league game.

Barcelona hosts Atletico with the Super Cup poised at 1-1 after the first leg.

Barcelona may also be without forward Lionel Messi, who missed Sunday's match with a left thigh bruise.
