Recber to miss Sunday’s game in Philadelphia

Recber, a Turkish international, made his Barcelona debut last Sunday against Juventus at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Mass.

Recber became the first of Barcelona’s five new signings this summer when he arrived from Turkish club Fenerbahce last month. The four other newcomers are Brazilian forward Ronaldinho, Mexican defender Rafael Marquez, Portuguese winger Ricardo Quaresma and Spanish forward Luis Garcia.

Recber gained recognition throughout the soccer world by leading Turkey to a third-place finish in the 2002 World Cup. Before signing with Barcelona, he was linked with Arsenal.
