Barcelona have been handed a major boost ahead of their Champions League second-leg clash with Chelsea in the shape of the fitness of one of their most important players.
Barca were not exactly at the races during the first-leg. They’re lucky not to be heading back to the Nou Camp with a deficit to overturn, following what was an efficient and classy performance from the Premier League champions in West London.
We thought as though we may have been given a leg-up ahead of the second-leg, with Andres Iniesta sustaining an injury soon before the contest. However, Barcelona revealed on their Twitter account that he has in fact been included in their squad for the game.
❗ Iniesta is included in the squad for #BarçaChelsea

The Chelsea faithful will still be having nightmares of Iniesta’s match-winning goal at the Bridge back in 2009. Let’s hope that the World Cup winner is not able to replicate such exploits this evening on his own turf.
