Defender facing six weeks out

Barcelona defender Gabriel Milito faces a spell on the sidelines after picking up a thigh injury. The Argentine sustained the problem during Barca's Copa del Rey victory over Ceuta on Wednesday. Milito was forced to limp off before half-time with the problem to be replaced by Eric Abidal. The latest injury is likely to sideline Milito for up to six weeks, meaning he will miss the remainder of the UEFA Champions League group stages and El Clasico against Real Madrid later this month.
