Barcelona has confirmed that Lionel Messi is
out with a persistent groin injury.
The La Liga champions had noted the injury,
before Messi made his return to international
football with Argentina, in a 2018 World Cup
qualifying match against Uruguay last week.
Messi is now unlikely to play for Barca against
Alaves this weekend.
A club statement said: “Tests conducted today
on first team player Leo Messi have confirmed
that the discomfort in his left adductor muscle
persists.
“It’s advised he lowers the burden of training in
the coming days and the evolution of the injury
will mark his availability to return to action.”
