10 - Lionel Messi - v4

[xXKonan]

Going by the wording I doubt he will play on Saturday.

I want Leo to rest and let it heal and instead of rushing himself back. I know he wants to play every game but it's better for him and the Team if he sits out until he's properly ready.

I thought it was his groin?

Oh well, this injury rests on his decision. Hope he comes back soon.

 

[KiX7777]

He will play against Alaves. No doubt about that.

 

[Luftstalag14]

He should definitely be rested against Alaves, he shouldn't play until it is fully recovered.

He really should. Groin injuries are easy to re-occur. He needs to be careful or he could be in pain all season. He shouldn't even be in the bench. There's depth now, time to use it.

 

[KiX7777]

He even asked Bauza to play against Venezuela so I think he will rest until Thursday and play on weekend.

 

[Ripsta]

Annoying, there was a time not so long ago when he was bullet proof. I miss those days.

There was also a time (pre 2008) when he was injured a lot, so some perspective please

its the adductor muscle, so yes its his groin

Poor Leo hope it's not one of them lingering injuries which gets worse and worse and then needs two months off.

Está todo bien, tengo que bajar el ritmo y seguir recuperándome con fisioterapia, pero nada preocupante. Gracias a todos por el apoyo.

Everything is fine, I have to slow things down as I recover with physio, but it's nothing to worry about. Thanks to you all for your support.

We should be more than able to cope without him upto atletico game let him rest this weekend then gradually build up his minutes again we have a choice of arda denis rafinha even suarez to replace him the next few games

Poor Leo should not have insisted on playing while nursing a niggle or possibly an injury.

 

[gasgas]

with leo resting is not an option
See you next weekend vs alaves

He had to defeat Uruguay and put Argies in pole position. That's what he does.
