MADRID, Aug. 27 (Xinhua) -- FC Barcelona captain Carles Puyol has broken his right cheek, the club confirmed on Monday.
The 34-year-old has suffered the same injury on three previous occasions, but it looks as if it is unlikely to stop him from playing.
The club issued a communique saying Puyol would undergo a 'conservative' treatment, which means he will not undergo an operation. Indeed Puyol is not ruled out of taking part in the return leg of the Spanish Supercup away to Real Madrid on Wednesday night.
Barcelona defend a 3-2 lead from the first leg and although the club insist Puyol's presence depends on his evolution in the coming hours, on previous occasions he has played while wearing a mark to protect the injury.
Wednesday's game could see him face new Real Madrid signing Luka Modric, who was presented to the Real Madrid fans on Monday afternoon after signing a five-year-contract earlier in the day.
In his press conference, 28-year-old Modric said he was in condition to make his
debut1 even though his pre-season preparation has been
affected2 by the long term transfer
negotiations3 between Madrid and his former club, Tottenham Hotspurs.
