Victor Valdes joins Lionel Messi at the Barcelona sidelines

Posted on November 22, 2013 by SoccerPunter

The battle for Spain Primera División title could be wide open after Barcelona announced that goalkeeper Víctor Valdés and top goalscorer Lionel Messi will be sidelined for at least six weeks.

Valdes sustained the injury while on international duty with Spain. They lost to South Africa recently in a friendly match.

Latest news reported that Barcelona captain Xavi Hernandez and Cristian Tello will not be playing in this weekend match against Granada at Camp Nou.

Injury crisis has hit Barcelona so severely this time that led to some football pundits predicting Barcelona will not retain the La Liga title this season.

According to Barcelona vs Granada H2H stats, Barca have won all the past four meetings and they have yet to lose in La Liga this season.

We predict that the winning streak will continue for Barcelona despite the absence of Messi. Because Barcelona have too many good attackers such as Alexis Sánchez, Pedro and Neymar.
