Captain of FC Barcelona, Carles Puyol, meet two months ago without playing with his team, since he did against Racing Santander at the Camp Nou (3-0), and no news of when you can return to competition. Puyol has been in the starting line more than once in this period of convalescence from the vastus lateralis tendinitis in his left knee, but the high has always been postponed.
Falling Puyol has become a headache for the coach of Barcelona, Josep Guardiola, and for the Barca team for the confidence enjoyed by the veteran and central Barcelona, a fixture in the starting lineup in the shaft defense, with Gerard Pique. Carles Puyol played Feb. 22 game against Racing teaming with Abidal, who has become his natural replacement.
At the end of the first half, stayed in the locker room and left in place Gerard Piqué. After the first week low, it marked a comeback for the second leg of the knockout stages of the Champions League at the Nou Camp against Arsenal after missing six games, the Cup against Almeria (5-0 and 0-3), the league before the Hercules (0-3), Athletic (3-0) and Sporting (1-1), and the Champions League against Arsenal (loss 2-1).
Gerard Piqué downward by the accumulation of yellow cards for the second leg against Arsenal in Barcelona was probably the reason why more was said about the return of Puyol. But the captain did not recover and Guardiola fielded Abidal and Sergio Busquets in central defense, while Puyol and Pique saw the match from the first row of the stands of Camp Nou.
The absence of Puyol has not been the only negative factor that has punished Barca defense, since the low of Abidal for a tumor in the liver has motivated the whole defensive line has been altered, with player movement and other input that, ultimately, reduced the reliability of the quartet composed undisputed Alves, Piqué, Puyol and Abidal.
After two months out of competition, Puyol has not gone to the appointment of the selection, allowing you to work hard for nearly two weeks without the pressure of the calendar. Their hope is once again the next league match, in which the Barça will play in the field of Villarreral, but nobody in the Catalan club has no clue, since all the information that transcends from the entity is a hackneyed phrase: "Its development will mark the availability for the next games." Despite this silence a classic in terms of injuries to players, it seems that Puyol has already begun the countdown to his return soon, to coincide with the demanding timetable for Barcelona, which must defend its advantage in the League in the decisive stage, playing the final of the Copa del Rey and Champions.
