Barcelona's ridiculous 16-strong list of injuries this season
FC Barcelona's injury plague continues. Just four months of the season have gone and the club have suffered 16 injuries, incredibly. A scandalous number, with 11 muscular, with just five impact or illness - Messi, Rafinha, Sandro, Douglas and Neymar's mumps.
A large list of problems that makes it evident the team isn't as prepared as they were last season - no doubt partly thanks to their tour of the USA. Furthermore, not being able to register players means that Lucho has been able to rotate less.
