Barcelona rocked by Iniesta injury

Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola admits Andres Iniesta is likely to miss the Champions League final after suffering a thigh strain last night. Iniesta broke down late on in Barca's 3-3 draw with Villarreal and is definitely out of the Copa del Rey final on Wednesday and possible their date with Manchester United in Rome.

Guardiola said: "Yes, this is a blow.

"He is not prone to injuries. He is strong, but playing a game every three days ... in the end the body says enough.

"Iniesta is out for Valencia and we'll try to get him to Rome."
