Barcelona will be without Xavi Hernandez for Wednesday's Champions
League match against Stuttgart after he sustained a muscle injury
in training.
Barcelona says Xavi hurt his right calf on Tuesday and is
expected to be sidelined two weeks.
The Spain midfielder has played more minutes than any other
outfield player this season for the European champions.
Barcelona also said Wednesday that midfielder Seydou Keita
has been cleared to return against Stuttgart after missing one
month with a leg injury.
Barcelona goes into the game at the Camp Nou holding the
away-goal advantage in the last 16 knockout round following a 1-1
draw three weeks ago.
