Report: Adriano to undergo thigh scan

Barcelona defender Adriano is expected to undergo tests on a suspected thigh injury this afternoon.

The Brazilian left-back picked up the injury in his side's 3-0 win over Celta Vigo on Tuesday, with the versatile defender forced to exit in the first period.

He has already been ruled out of Friday's home match against Espanyol, but the extent of the damage is not yet clear.

The 29-year-old, who arrived at Barca from Sevilla in 2010, had been enjoying a run in the first XI with first-choice left-back Jordi Alba on the sidelines.
