10 - Lionel Messi - v4

He has a knee ligament damage. He might not be playing, but he's hardly getting any rest tbh. It's better for him to play and not rest than have this injury.

I won't say this is a good thing, but there's one huge upside; Messi now gets a rest. He had been looking a little tired lately and the resounding the factor of last year was fitness is above all else, especially when the talent is there. I assuming he won't go play any of the 4 international games either which is no harm. We've had our toughest CL game played and didn't get beaten. This period will also show us if Munir is worth a wank. He'll be itching to play when the Clasico roles 'round too.

A ligament tear is miles away from getting rest.

He will be there at El Classico, he will be ready to help.

Win Bayer and Seville and Messi will be forgotten

In terms of fatigue down the line ? No. 7 weeks of professional football is more draining than recovering from a knee injury is. Problem is, while most of Messi will be fresh & ready, he'll probably be very careful with what he does on the pitch, hurting his gameplay a little.

Fatigue wise Messi should be in great shape for the 2nd half of the season.

Anyone curious about the Ronaldo movie? Saw a trailer today and there are some shots of Messi as well. Maybe they will delve into the rivalry between the two and Messi will have things to say.
I think we are also going to see how his son is a Messi fan and see footage of their meeting during the Ballon D'or.

Why would Messi say anything in a Ronaldo movie?

Fatigue have never really been a major issue for Messi. Might be more physical draining, but it's the mental aspect of it which hurts more, especially for someone like Messi who want to play every single minute.

at the same time, messi never played as much as he did this year, and his performances dropped compared to the end of last season.

That first touch though.

Villani (team doctor ARG): "Messi's recovery time is 5-7 weeks. Back for ARG games in Nov? Unlikely, but we'll know more in 2 weeks." [rac1]

 

[ThwiX]

Argentina trying to rush him back for the Brazil game it seems.

 

[Barcafan 2304]

Argentina can piss off
