Barcelona defender Rafael Marquez will miss the rest of the season after injuring his left knee in the goalless Champions League semi-final first leg against Chelsea.
Marquez stumbled and went down clutching his left knee just after half-time at the Camp Nou and has damaged the external meniscus.
Coach Pep Guardiola has limited options in central defence for the return leg after Carles Puyol, who came on to replace Mexico international Marquez, was booked for a late tackle on Florent Malouda.
As a result he will miss the match in London on Wednesday May 6 through suspension.
Marquez will also miss Saturday's 'Clasico' when Liga leaders Barca face champions Real Madrid at the Bernabeu.

Comment 9 - 28 of 28
Chelsea should be ashamed of their cowardly display . So disgraceful !!
shame to see Marquez go down...he is my favourite Mexican player.
abidal will partner pique in the center of defence end sylvinio will play on his left wing no problem
Message No. 12. Barca
The only statistic that counts is this Barcelona 0-O Chelsea. So much for the Camp Nou, and by the dramatics and hysterics of the Barcelona diving brigade I think that "camp" is an appropriate word.
big blow
Dear Yahoo, is there a translation service available to enable normal English speaking followers of this site to understand the comments posted? Whilst a little precis for the sake of speed and brevity is fine with me, some of these postings are complete gibberish.
Chelsea are not my favourite team but they showed character and resiliance last night and if Drogba had been able to finish off his goal scoring chance the tie would have been over last night. Now that Barcelona have lost two defenders for the second leg Chelsea should make the final and guarantee yet another English European Champions success.
Why are the spanish players so weak,bunch off crybabys.But the worst was that piece of @#$% drogba,is should be suspended for his acting
Barca just dominate the game but not win...hahahahahaaaa..very poor performance..barca were not a sharp shooter really..19 shot but not 1 inside the goal.....you are a loser next week game without so many a key player like puyol,marques hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahah....the next week game Chelsea will attack Barca...defenitely different match from yesterday match i think..
to comment 21
Carles Busquets is almost good as puyol and marques so it won't be an issue, and by the way with chelsea poor attacking why bother to much about defense. Well let me guess chelsea is looking for a draw at home so we can have penalties ( I don't want to see JT crying like a baby again like last year against MU, poor JT).
barca_nr_1,
bottom line
Barcelona a big Zero chelsea Zero
wit h Marquez and puyol out, i don't see barcelone winning, maybe drawing thru.
and i agree wit holly smith innit
i dont see wat your tryin to say wit the stats other than we fouled alot (wit only 30% pos.). how many of ur players went down callin for a foul? wat bout alves' antics? there wer a couple legit fouls that they let go, but it was 4 both sides. + havin the ball for 70% of the time and with havin the midfield and forwards have and not scoring out of 19 shots....lol u got stopped n ur pissed off hahahahahahahaha.
all london final. @#$% the spanish n manc cnuts
he's just scared to face the mighty chelsea again
