Lionel Messi, the current FIFA World Player of the Year and European Player of the Year missed Barcelona’s training session on Thursday, 2nd December. Barcelona’s team doctors advised him to sit out of training as he was suffering from a minor
strain.
Lionel Messi was inspirational in his team’s recent 5-0 thrashing of arch rivals Real Madrid at Camp Nou. Real Madrid manager, Jose Mourinho tried to intimidate Messi physically therefore, during the game he received several late tackles but luckily for
the Argentinean sensation, he managed to come out without a major injury. However, he did suffer from a minor strain as reported by the doctors.
Barcelona manager, Pep Guordiolla will be hoping for his quick recovery. This weekend, the Catalans have a tricky trip away to Osasuna’s intimidating Reyno de Navarra stadium. Messi’s presence will be vital in order to acquire a comfortable victory there.
Messi already has had an injury plagued season. He missed some of the games due to a nagging ankle injury. The medical staff will surely not take any risks with his fitness as he is central to Barcelona’s European and domestic aspirations this season.
Chances are that he may not play this weekend unless his full fitness is confirmed. No one involved will want the injury to develop into a more serious one.
Barcelona will be hoping that he regains fitness as soon as possible while his opponents will be l*****g their lips at the slightest news of even such a small injury.
One does not need to be a Barcelona fan to enjoy seeing the little magician play. He is a treat for football fans all over the planet. Almost everyone will be praying for his speedy recovery.
