Messi could miss first league game

Speaking to Argentinian sports channel TyC Sports, Barcelona player Lionel Mesi has said that he could miss Barcelon's first league game because of a game with his national team:

"On 28 August, I will play the European Super Cup, there's no doubt about that. The problem is the next game. That's why I've already talked with Pep and Diego Maradona, to see if I can travel to Argenina immediately after the game against Shakhtar.

Luckily, Pep is a very intelligent person and we have a great relationship. We still need to sit down and talk to see what is the best for all parties."

I read the title and I thought for a second that that cramp is serious now. Scared me...
Let's hope he won't get injured there.

FCBdara said...

me too i was already thinking that this season will be full of injuries because how it started i was scared.but LOL now i´much happier

Hilal said...

ITs fine, I think we can handle Sporting Gijon without Messi...let him go play with Argentina if thats what he wants

barca4life said...

We can do without messi for 1 league game. Better to let him go and not risk an injury by overworking.

Moltisanti said...

I say let him go but in return we should ask for a friendly mid-season when he won't be called up.

Brimwa said...

got a lil worried wen i 1st read the title lol...

but he will be fine... he got a physio from barca everytime he travels with national team...


for some reason i have a feeling Barca are gonna surprise us with a big signing we never expected... not talking about Cesc...


forgive me for dreaming big but i think maybe
Ribery, or Robben (very unlikely) or Sneider...

i wanna be surprised...

Last season I would have been sceptical about this because Pedro never really convinced me back then but after his great preseason, (not only statistic wise but all on overall preformance) I think he deserves his chance at being the number one replacement for Messi ahead of players like Bojan, Iniesta and Zlatan as Pedro is also the only other true RW. I am confident with Pedro starting games against teams like Gijon and I would like to see him play against all the weaker teams games so there is less chance of a Messi injury or tiredness.

Iniesta Goooooaaaaal !!!!! said...

ofcourse he wants to play...

Its the mother of all Classics !!!

FC Franco Sucks !! said...

We should let him play for Argentina . Barça can NOT afford to repeat the same fiasco we had prior to the summer Olympics !!

xaviniesta said...

i'd rather have a happy and injury free messi than that super cup trophy.

xaviniesta said...

i should mention he's a priceless trophy himself. the best player in the world is a barca player yay :)

Helge said...

Wow, I bet you scared a lot of visitors with that headline, Pep :)

I'm delighted that he's not injured until then.
So, first league match is on Monday, right? And the qualifier for Argentina is on Saturday, I think that's still enough time, isn't it? Would be a different story if the qualifier was on Wednesday.
