Andrés Iniesta made an appearance on national radio station Cadena SER on Sunday night to discuss his newly-released autobiography La Jugada de Mi Vida (‘The Move of My Life’).

Interviewed alongside two journalists with whom he collaborated to write the book – Ramón Besa from El País and Marcos López from El Periódico – the Barcelona captain also discussed the condition of the knee he injured against Sevilla in the first leg of the Spanish Super Cup and his recovery.

Iniesta: "My knee is getting better"

Though reluctant to say too much, he appeared to be pleased with his progress so far. “Good,” he said when questioned on his recovery. “My knee is getting better and I hope that that will continue over the next few days.”

Iniesta injured his knee in the first half of Barcelona's 2-0 first leg Super Cup win over Sevilla and hasn't played since.
