Home Copa de rey La Liga Messi Valencia Lionel Messi injury: Barcelona boss gives update amid Real Madrid fears

at February 03, 2019

Lionel Messi picked up a knock on his right thigh during Barcelona’s 2-2 draw with Valencia on Saturday evening.
In the 70th minute, Antonio Lato’s knee collided with the Argentine star and he let the field for treatment.
Messi did return to the field of play but was far from his best with sprinting, appearing to trouble him.
Valverde now faces a tough decision with semi-final clash with Real Madrid fast approaching on Wednesday.
And the Spaniard has revealed he is yet to decide on whether Messi will be involved.
"Between tomorrow and the day afterwards we'll need to see exactly how he is and what he has," Valverde said.
"I don't exactly what it is.
"It could be a small discomfort.

"We'll wait to see what the doctors say, then evaluate things based on that.
"I imagine that he can't be too bad, but I'm not able to reveal anything."
Messi scored twice at the Nou Camp to salvage Barca a point against Valencia that leaves them six points clear of second-placed Atletico Madrid at the top of the table.

On facing the European champions, Valverde said: “It will be a great game for both the teams and the fans.
“It will be a fascinating tie and it will be interesting to see who makes it through to the final.
“They were going through a poor run of form in the league but they have turned it around and we know that it will be a tough match.”
