10 - Lionel Messi - v3

[BarcaGirl]

Munir too Hope it's nothing serious.

 

[instinct]

It is reported that he won't join Argentinia! Blessing in disguise?

 

[ThwiX]

Is it the same place as before?

 

[Ritchie]

That's the consequence of him working and running more, his muscles get overburdened.

 

[Icarium]

Is it safe to say that he has not declined?

Wait until he plays a bad match (by his standards) and every one will start complaining. He has set the bar too high. Messi never declined imo. He just lacked some stamina and energy and maybe motivation (debatable). But he is not 19 anymore and he offers much more than that 19y old kid.

I think/hope its an excuse to get out of a pointless Argentina friendly.

Yeah, I'm hoping it's mostly just a way to get him out of the friendly on wednesday. There are two weeks till the next league game, so he's got plenty time to recuperate.

 

[raskolnikov]

Over the years you will notice top players always having some small injury when international friendlies come up, especially those who need to travel a lot.

 

[te amo barca]

Hope it's nothing serious! damn

Hip-abductor supposedly, which isn't part of the hamstring. Hope it's just a Pique-style excuse for the NT though. He didn't seem at all put off by even muscle soreness today.

 

[DonAK]

I hate these International Friendlies far away.

 

[raminho]

Just read this bit of bad news about him going through further tests for the injury...
Shit. And he was looking so brilliant, hope it's nothing serious and just precaution.

This is worthy of the Women thread. Catalinutz you are summoned to add more pictures of these beauties

 

[Sumlit]

It smells like an excuse to getting off the friendlies. Maybe he's got some soreness or something minor, but it it does smell like an excuse. Anything to get him off playing those useless friendly that only server to make FIFA's fat cows some money.

Crap...Hope its just an excuse to make Bladder's pockets lighter.....
