The most productive player of the Spanish championship this season may not appear on the field anymore.
Over the weekend Lionel Messi did not finish the Primera division match against Atletico Madrid and left the field in the second half due to a leg injury.
On Tuesday, Barcelona's medical staff performed health exams on the leader of the Catalan team and diagnosed that the Argentine strained the tendon of his right leg.
It is said that due to this injury, L.Messi will not be able to play for 2 to 3 weeks.
This means that the footballer will definitely not appear on the field next weekend at the Camp Nou stadium for the 36th round match of the Primera against Real Valladolid and will not play in the Catalan capital derby against Espanyol. If the injury persists longer, L.Messi may also miss the final match of the season against Malaga.
Barcelona has already secured the title of Spanish champions, so all three of these matches for Tito Vilanova's team are mere formalities.
