Barcelona midfielder Andres Iniesta will be missing his team's UEFA Champions League game against Lyon on February 24th due to a hamstring injury.

The Spanish international was forced to limp off Barca's training on Tuesday and further examinations on Wednesday confirmed that he'll be out for two weeks.

"Andrés Iniesta suffered a hamstring injury during training on Tuesday and will now be out of action for two weeks," read a statement on the club's official website.

The injury will be Iniesta's second this season, after the 24-year-old was sidelined for two months on November 2008 with a leg injury.

Iniesta, who made his way through the Catalan club's youth ranks in 2002, has already played over 150 games for Barcelona, as well as 35 times for his country.
