Medical: Messi still doubtful after light training

Despite the problems he suffered yesterday (read more here), Barcelona player Lionel Messi (21) has done a light training session this morning. Messi did some stretching and running on his own.

Asked about the quadriceps problems of Messi, Barcelona manager Josep Guardiola has said at a press conference that it will be decided tomorrow if Messi will play tomorrow against Getafe:

"Messi is fine, it's nothing bad. He has some discomfort and he has been training apart from the group today, but he trained good. Until now he always had problems in the back of his leg, now it's in the front. We'll see tomorrow if he'll be in the match squad and if he plays. He sure looks motivated to play."

For the left wing problem... I think Barca can go for this 20 year old Argentine called Diego Buonanotte. He plays for River plate. A small guy (only 5ft2) But quite destructive and good at goal scoring.He also plays center attacking midfield, so he can often swap positions with Iniesta during the game. I reckond he certainly will make good partnership with Iniesta on the left. Destruction... that's what Barca need on their lert wing. For left back... Armand Traore or Urby Emmanuelson.

I heard a lot about this guy, and it will be strange if its not already on Txiki radar, we have a quality scouting staff in south America and probably they are reporting back about him. Its not if he is good, but if he is ready, and how much he may cost.

So there is a chance that your wish to be fulfilled:)
