Luis Enrique plays down Andres Iniesta fears

Luis Enrique plays down Iniesta fears

Barcelona boss Luis Enrique has played down suggestions that Andres Iniesta suffered a potentially long-term injury against Fiorentina on Sunday.

The Spaniard was replaced at the interval of Barca's 2-1 defeat in the International Champions Cup after suffering a knock in the latter stages of the half.

It has been claimed that the midfielder is now a doubt for the European Super Cup against Sevilla on August 11, but Enrique has said that the injury is "nothing serious".

"Iniesta came off because he had a slight problem and the doctors will tell us what it is, even though it is nothing serious," Enrique told reporters.

Barcelona have lost each of their last three pre-season matches, although the defeat to Chelsea did come via a penalty shootout.
