The Spanish midfielder said that as far as he knows Messi, the Argentinean star is going to try and recover well before the Sunday game so that he can play in the first-team.
The Argentinean maestro, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296, picked up a knee injury during the game against Benfica.
All eyes were set on the diminutive striker when he came off the bench to play against Benfica during the midweek.
Tito Vilanova decided to bench most of his first-team players during the match against the Portuguese giants, as La Blaugrana already topped their UEFA Champions League group before playing their last game.
However, the Catalan boss still decided to field the Argentinean star during the second half of the game.
Many thought that this was only done in order to allow Messi to score the 85th goal in the current calendar year, in order to beat Gerd Muller’s all-time goal-scoring record.
And the Argentinean star was about to make history, but was soon seen lying down on the floor holding his left knee as he picked up a knock.
While many thought that he might be out for the rest of the current calendar year, it has been revealed that he has only picked up a small knock on his left knee and Cesc Fabregas is of the opinion that if Messi recovers before the Sunday game against Betis,
he will definitely play.
“Knowing him, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Leo-c22011 will want to play on Sunday. Today, in the dressing room he was wondering if he could play. For us and for the world of football it is a joy that he is well.”
Fabregas also spoke about how Messi is important for the team and stated:
“We got scared a little, because he is a player who rarely goes down, but thank God that it is nothing.”
“He is a cornerstone of this team and a player who is very important to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604, one of the most important.”
Barcelona will be facing Real Betis on Sunday and the Argentinean star is expected to make a comeback during that game. Moreover, if he is played by Vilanova in that fixture, he will have another chance to equalizing Muller’s record of 85 goals.
