Due to a lingering hamstring injury, the Argentine international will be sidelined for up to three weeks after the intensified injury that has been plaguing him since last month. Messi got injured in the first leg of Barca’s Champions League quarterfinal against Paris Saint-Germain in early April and has been battling it ever since. Although, Messi played against Atletico Madrid on Sunday but limped off after re-aggravating the injury just before the 70-minute mark.
Barcelona released a statement on its official website saying,
Tests on Tuesday morning showed that Lionel Messi has an elongation in the femoral biceps in his right leg. The expected absence is two to three weeks. How the injury evolves will determine the player’s availability for future games.
Lionel Messi who currently has 46 goals this season, won't be able to break the Spanish league goal scoring record that he set last year with 50 goals.
