Bari dealt with an injury crisis throughout the campaign and 2011 starts on another sour note, as Paulo Vitor Barreto will be out for a month.

The Brazilian top scorer had just returned from six weeks on the sidelines when he picked up another muscular problem in training.

Tests have confirmed a right thigh strain that will keep him on the treatment table for around a month.

Teammates Salvatore Masiello and Abdel Ghezzal also have thigh injuries, although Nacho Castillo should be able to resume training with the squad.

Marco Rossi is suspended, while Alessandro Parisi, Gianluca Galasso, Sergio Almiron and Salvatore Masiello are all doubts.
