Messy injury rate detected, missing in first match after football returns to Spain

Barcelona's anxious about the state of Lionel Mess.

The Argentinian star stopped in training on Tuesday as he suffered an injury that will hold him briefly from football fields.

Spanish TV3 media report that a muscle problem in the right leg has been detected by scan.

Such damage usually takes 10 days for complete recovery, which will make Messia not ready for the first meeting after the return of football to Spain.

The Catalans have a programme with Mallorcan, June 13th meeting for the 28th week of La Ligas.

Understandably, the Argentinian will not be available. Three days later, on 16 June, Barcelona hosts Leganes, and likely in that 6-time meeting, the winner of the Golden Ball can be spared, so that in the meeting against Seville, on June 21st, Messy will be in the field and be in his optimial form to leave his mark on a delicate transfer for Barcelona that could decide many for the champion title.

That Barca currently heads La Ligan, Messi has outstanding merits, as in the 22 meetings it has been activated has marked 19 times.
