Good prognosis for Gudjohnsen

FC Barcelona striker Eidur Gudjohnsen may be fit to play this weekend despite fears he had sustained a serious injury in the 2-2 draw against Chelsea FC.

FC Barcelona striker Eidur Gudjohnsen may be fit to play this weekend despite fears he had sustained a serious injury in last night's 2-2 draw against Chelsea FC.

Medical tests
The Icelandic international was taken off with 77 minutes gone of the UEFA Champions League encounter after he landed painfully on his left ankle following a challenge by Ricardo Carvalho. With Samuel Eto'o's knee injury having already reduced Barça's striking options, many feared the worst for Gudjohnsen. However, tests have revealed that he has not suffered ligament damage and is even being considered as a possible starter for Saturday's Primera División game against RC Deportivo La Coruña. Barcelona travel to PFC Levski Sofia on Matchday 5 needing a win to keep alive their hopes of defending the UEFA Champions League crown.
