He might need to miss the next game, too, I'm sure the Barca medical staff can help with that. That will still leave plenty of time for him to get ready for the games that count. If the team losses some revenue, so be it. It's very important for Barca to help Messi miss a lot of the friendlies, it's only decent to keep his workload below 80 games a year. Nobody wants him burned out before he turns 30.
