Sergio Busquets plays down injury fears

Barcelona midfielder Sergio Busquets has insisted that he is not still being troubled by a pelvic problem.

The Spaniard has struggled with the injury in recent weeks, with his own performances being called into question.

However, Busquets has said that "there is nothing wrong" and played down talk that he will need an operation.

"I'm fine. It's just speculation. Yes, I had an injury in that area but it's fine and I'm preventing it happening again," he told AS.

"I'm fine. There's nothing wrong. A week ago I had an injury and now I've recovered. I don't need an operation and I don't have a problem."

Barcelona return to action against Ajax in the Champions League on Wednesday.
