Alexis Sánchez

Barcelona came back to defeat Atletico Madrid despite playing the final 23 minutes a man down after Lionel Messi left with an injury.

Out of sight; out of time? Alexis Sanchez was left out of the squad to face Real Madrid yesterday, with sources claiming it to be a "technical decision" by the Barcelona management. With that in mind, what's next for Alexis Sanchez?

Slow day in the news today as apart from a couple player interviews there is nothing to report. The really noteworthy one is the one by Barça forward Alexis Sanchez in which he confirmed he is worried about the lack of scoring.

The injury bug struck FC Barcelona once again with Cesc Fabregas being the latest casualty. He's expected to be out for about a month with a thigh injury.

Barcelona can move on to the Round of 16 with a win over Spartak Moscow, whose injury list is longer than most kids' Christmas letters to Santa.

Out of form, and now out of pocket. Alexis Sanchez picked up an ankle injury on Chile duty and will miss a month for Barcelona.
