Iniesta to return to action

Barcelona midfielder Andres Iniesta has been given the green light to return to action after recovering from his hamstring tear, the Primera Division club confirmed today.

The World Cup winner has been absent since suffering the injury during Barca’s Champions League draw with AC Milan on September 13.

Barca are next in action against Racing Santander on October 15 when the Primera Division resumes after the international break.

Iniesta was not among those called up when Spain coach Vicente del Bosque announced his squad last Friday for the upcoming Euro 2012 qualifiers against Czech Republic and Scotland.
