Lionel Messi missed Thursday's recovery
session of Barcelona's training due to
pain in his right ankle. The #10
complained after taking some heavy hits
and even twisting his ankle during the
match against Deportivo La Coruña on
Wednesday, and did not report to the
pitch along with his teammates, instead
choosing to do treatment on the issue.
While the ankle is of some concern at the
moment, Catalan media has so far said
the Argentinean should be fully healthy
and available for the next match, a
critical league game against Sporting
Gijón. Messi had a sensational
performance at Riazor , scoring once and
recording two other assists to Man of the
Match Luis Suárez.
Messi was spotted at the Nou Camp Nou
presentation and seemed just fine. Here's
hoping that the world's best player can
be available for the final four matches of
a league Barça just has to win, Messi will
obviously be a big part in the Catalan's
chances of lifting the trophy.
