Alves Injured vs. Manchester City

Tuesday, Feb. 24 

Dani Alves was taken off injured in the second half of Barcelona's 2-1 victory over Manchester City in the Champions League last-16 first leg on Tuesday.

As reported by the Catalan club, the Brazilian picked up the knock after a high challenge to the knee from Gael Clichy, for which the City defender received his second yellow card of the match:

Alves was replaced at right-back by Adriano with 15 minutes remaining, City having pulled a goal back through Sergio Aguero just six minutes earlier after a Luis Suarez first-half double saw Barca take control of the tie at the Etihad Stadium.

Dermot Corrigon of ESPN provided details from Barcelona manager Luis Enrique:
