10 - Lionel Messi - v1

[Gnegneri]

Espanyol would try to cripple his legs anyway so.

 

[Nirre_99]

Hopefully nothing serious. It didn't look that bad on the replays to be honest.

Had a pretty good second half, made some nice dribbling and a really nice freekick.

I really would like him to put one of his one on ones soon though

 

[diegomessi]

i think he played AMAzING second half shame about the injury my god those Ukarins were dirty...

dont expect him to be there this weekend but i hope he can make the world cup (club)

 

[evilhita666]

I rather see him on the bench against Espanyol because those dirty mofos would end up giving him some serious injury, so he's better off rested...

"Leo Messi has a 1-2 degree sprain in his right ankle that puts him in doubt for the derby with Espanyol on Saturday. His availability depends on the Club Medical Services."

- from the offical web site.

First Degree. This injury is the most common and the most minor. The ankle ligaments are stretched but not torn. There is little swelling and no instability. Usually ankle elevation and an ice pack to reduce pain and swelling are all that is necessary. You can expect to be back to your sport within 2 - 3 weeks.

Second Degree. Ankle ligaments are partially torn. The ankle usually swells quickly with some bruising. These sprains are painful, making walking difficult. Treatment is basically the same as for a first-degree sprain, only longer. Immobilization of the ankle in brace, splint, or elastic bandage may be necessary to ensure proper healing of the torn ligaments. Your ankle may require a three to six week rest before you can return to your sport.

I say one month.

I love the amateur doctors on here. For the record everybody thought they could predict Zlatan's layoff when he had the same injury and he was back well before anybody on here said he would be.

 

[Fourteen]

Yeah, but if it's only a sprain to the ankle, then surely that'll only be a week or two at the max.

 

[Sultan]

he'll be back before you can say kyrgyzstan!

ffs i'm not playing a doctor here, i'm just predicting from a fan standpoint, and prediction can be wrong. You don't have to analyze every single word said.

Actually I do, it's an illness I suffer from

 

[christina]

Is he hurt badly?

 

[Barcaman]

Can't find the news in Catalan press. It went from "will miss Espanyol + CWC" to " doubtful for Espanyol" and now nothing.

 

[veryfatchocobo]

Yeah. No news....

 

[Aryagorn]

Out for the derby... Not sure if he'd be available for CWC semis. Hope he stays on the bench for the final just to get the medal(if we win of course!)

 

[zanela]

Confirmed on the official site. He has a grade 2 sprain to his right ankle
He is out for the derby & the evolution of his injury 'll determine his availability for the CWC. :sad:
