10 - Lionel Messi - v2

[dostoevskij]

Messi won't play again until the first leg of the CL semis on 23 or 24 April, which means he would miss the next two league games. [cope]

Good!!! we are strong enough to beat Zaragoza and levante without him, besides even if we lose both, we are 13 points clear...

Glad to hear he'll be rested.. pretty sick to hear "his injury didn't get worse" so he really was injured when he played :s

Wasn't he cleared by the medical staff to at least be on the bench?
He definitely wasn't at 100% though. Good thing he's gonna be rested.

Wasn't that what Thiago had???

Thiago had an edema on his right tibia and was out for 6 months (?).

I'm guessing that's to rest Messi and make sure he'll be at 100% for the semi game.

Please rest him. It wont be the end of the world if he rests till the semis. We have a huge lead in Liga. If we cant handle Zaragoza/Levante without him then shame on us

 

[ShandyFFM]

you guys think thiago could play in the messi role? imo he has the best dribbling skills in the team and although pace..could imgine it

 

[Papabeef]

Its no harm if he rests, i think more of a fatigue rest rather than an injury concern rest, to be honest if he is going to take next match off to not get a relapse what does that say ?
One of two things imo, either he played PSG when he should not have, or they will rest a Messi against Zaragoza when he is fit.

Is that official from Barcelona?

If he's fit I would think he will play vs levante, I mean it's important to stay match fit too and we know how much he likes to play.

 

[KhaledBarca]

We have 13pts lead, we just need 4 wins from 8 games!
Messi should rest, plus he has 14 goals more than Cristiano in the league. (should win the pichichi and european golden shoe anyway).

All what matters now that he's fit to play the UCL semi-finals!

?

Last week official news said maximum 10 days.
And now they said he will be back only for the semi finals in 2 weeks ? Were they lying last week ?

 

[mixer]

Messi will rest 2 more liga matches. He'll play the CL semi-final though.

Better rest him than risk a more serious injury. We're playing two weak teams from liga now so Messi can rest

I don't think any of this is officially from Barcelona.
