Rivaldo: Barcelona must not rush back to Mess

Brazilian legend Rivaldo has warned Barcelona not to rush back to attacker Lionel Messi.

Barcelona's star has only played 45 minutes this season, as it is suffering from an injury, broadcasts Kosovas Prees.

Rivaldo, which spent five seasons in “Camp Nou” believes that Mess should be given time to heal fully from injury.

When he returns from injury, the club should not rush to put him in the game. He's 32 years old and he's been playing at the high level without rest. It's normal to see that he's in pain. The club should let him heal, so he won't have any injuries once he returns. Being 32 isn't like being 25, so you gotta be more careful. I don't see any resignations from Messy, as soon as he gets back, he'll play for a few more years at a level of”, he said.

Barcelona this season after Argentina is in sixth place with 10 points, four short of leader Real Madrid.
