FC Barcelona defender Oleguer Presas faces more injury frustration after breaking the middle finger of his left hand for a second time this year.
Month-long absence
Oleguer suffered the fracture in training, having just recovered from the original break which occurred against Sevilla FC on 9 February. The 28-year-old, who has made only ten Primera División appearances this season, will miss the UEFA Champions League quarter-final against FC Schalke 04 as he is destined for another month on the sidelines. Barcelona visit the German club on 1 April before hosting the second leg eight days later, in a competition in which Oleguer has featured twice this term.
