Lionel Messi will once again have to spend some time without football.
The Argentine, who missed the start of the season due to thigh problems, suffered a setback in the match against Villarreal. He has been diagnosed with a left thigh abductor injury.
Barcelona did not specify how long Messi will be out of action, but it is clear that he will not play this weekend against Getafe. There is a good chance that the Catalans will have to do without their leader in the upcoming UEFA Champions League clash against Inter Milan.
The match against Villarreal was Messi's first of the season in which he started in the first team.
