Barcelona's Iniesta to miss match vs. Valencia

Although manager Luis Enrique says Andres Iniesta's condition has improved, the Barcelona boss won't risk the midfielder this weekend.

Iniesta will miss Barcelona's league match against Valencia after failing to return to full training because of heavy bruising in pelvic region, Enrique told reporters Friday.

The Spanish international suffered the injury during Barcelona's 3-1 victory against Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of their Champions League quarterfinal encounter.

He may, however, be fit to participate in the second leg Tuesday at the Camp Nou if he doesn't suffer any setbacks and is able to return to regular training.
