Puyol out for up to a month

Barcelona captain Carles Puyol is currently undergoing knee surgery and is set to miss the club's Champions League ties with Paris Saint-Germain.

The veteran defender is under the knife in the Catalan capital, with TV3 claiming that he will be sidelines for the next three weeks.

That would see the Spain international unavailable for the first leg of the last eight tie, but Diario Sport believe that he will be missing for a month, and therefore won't be fit in time for the second leg clash.
