He has proven himself to be Barcelona&rsquo;s most creative outlet. However, this relentless playing schedule appears to have taken its toll. The midfielder was visibly exhausted during El Clasico.<\/p><p>He was later seen training indoors rather than joining the group session on the pitch. Reports in Spain suggest the midfielder could miss around four to five weeks.
