Messi out for three weeks with groin strain

Barcelona have confirmed that Lionel Messi will be sidelined for three weeks with a groin strain.

The 29-year-old was replaced by Arda Turan just before the hour-mark of his side’s 1-1 draw with Atletico Madrid at Camp Nou on Wednesday.

The Argentina star had pulled up in discomfort after tangling with Atletico defender Diego Godin, and was taken off by Luis Enrique as a precaution having initially attempted to play on.

Barca have now announced that Messi is expected to be sidelined until the middle of next month, most likely until after the international break.
