Saturday, November 11, 2006

FC Barcelona full-back Juliano Belletti will miss the UEFA Champions League match at PFC Levski Sofia after pulling a muscle in his right calf in training.

FC Barcelona full-back Juliano Belletti will miss the UEFA Champions League match at PFC Levski Sofia on 22 November after pulling a muscle in his right calf.

Elimination possible
The Brazilian has played just three Primera División matches this season, a dislocated shoulder previously keeping him on the sidelines. Belletti, 30, pulled the muscle during a light training session on Friday evening and will need physiotherapy for two weeks. The holders Barça are third in Group A and could be eliminated from the UEFA Champions League if they fail to win in Bulgaria and Werder Bremen beat Chelsea FC in Germany.
