Bercelonia Striker Lionel Messi Out for Three Weeks, Suffers Groin Strain
Lionel Messi will be out for three weeks after suffering a groin strain as he limped off in Barcelona’s 1-1 draw against Atletico Madrid.
The five-time World Player of the Year missed Argentina’s World Cup qualifier with Venezuela earlier this month due to the problem and only started Barca’s shock 2-1 defeat to Alaves 10 days ago on the bench as coach Luis Enrique bedded him back into action gently.
After an innocuous tussle with Atletico’s Diego Godin in the second half of Wednesday night’s La Liga clash at the Nou Camp, the 29-year-old went down holding his groin, and was eventually brought off looking distraught.
