Both Barcelona and Real Madrid will have to do some lineup shuffling ahead of today's UEFA Champions League semifinal first leg (2:45 p.m., FX) at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu.
Barcelona, which received word on Tuesday that Carles Puyol would be available, will be without midfield maestro Andres Iniesta, who has a calf strain. Possible replacements for him in the starting XI include Ibrahim Afellay and Spain youth international Thiago Alcantara.
Real Madrid will be without suspended center back Ricardo Carvalho and midfielder Sami Khedira, who is nursing a thigh injury. Lassana Diarra is expected to step in for Khedira.
