Barça winger out of Celtic return

First-leg deficit
Barça lost 1-0 at Celtic Park last week but hope to reverse that deficit when the Scottish league leaders visit Camp Nou a week on Thursday. However, Luis García hurt his knee during last night's Primera División win at Real Murcia CF and will miss the Celtic fixture after being ruled out for at least ten days.

Overmars chance
It was initially feared that the 25-year-old winger would be sidelined for a month. But tests today on his right knee showed that he had only strained tendons rather than suffered any ligament damage. Luis García was replaced by Marc Overmars last night, and the Dutch international is likely to take the vacant place in the team.
