The Argentine striker was ruled out of the pre-season friendly game against Hamburg, after the club doctors reported that he picked up a calf strain during training.
Barcelona’s most valuable asset, Lionel Messi, was expected to start the pre-season friendly games; however, a calf strain ruled him out of the game against Hamburg.
Most of the players in the Catalan club were either injured or played during the Euro 2012 campaign, but Lionel Messi rested for most of the time during this summer and he was least likely to pick up an injury before the friendly game.
Recently, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296’s Argentinean physicist claimed that he will be in top form during the upcoming season. The doctor claimed that the Argentine will be reaching the peak of his career and will be writing history from now on.
The three-time Ballon d’Or winner has already shown the world what he is capable of. Scoring 73 goals in a single season is definitely inhumane and not even a single player has achieved this feat in the past.
Since Messi’s last season was phenomenal, he is expected to perform even better in the upcoming season. For the past three seasons, the Argentine maestro has been giving his best and has been topping his own performances.
However, last season he managed to make a record and now it is a test whether he can top that this time round.
Since Josep Guardiola has already left Barcelona and Messi was the highest individual goal-scorer under his tenure, now Tito Vilanova will be taking charge of the club and the Argentinean star is expected to perform at the same rate.
However, Messi has now picked up a calf strain right before the start of the season, and it is definitely bad news for the newly appointed manager, Tito Vilanova.
The club doctors cannot really tell the extent of the injury and have not yet informed anyone about Messi’s return to the first-team, but http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 will definitely miss their best player on the pitch, even during the pre-season games.
Barcelona fans would want Messi to return before the pre-season Super Copa game against Real Madrid.
