Andres Iniesta injury not serious, tests show Thursday

Barcelona have received good news on midfielder Andres Iniesta after he was injured in the 3-1 Champions League win against Paris St Germain on Wednesday night.

The midfielder was forced off early in the second half after taking a blow to his back as Barca swept aside PSG in the French capital in the first leg of their Champions League quarterfinal.

But fears of a long layoff have been eased by the results of tests on Thursday, and Iniesta has already done some light exercises with a return to training perhaps imminent.

"After a series of tests, the Club's medical services have confirmed that Andres Iniesta suffered heavy bruising in the pelvic region,'' the club said in a statement. "Iniesta did some specific work in training after the tests on Thursday evening.''
