Lionel Messi misses training with foot injury ahead of clash with Bayern Munich
Spanish side Barcelona have been hit with a blow ahead of their Champions League clash with Bayern Munich after Lionel Messi reportedly missed training sessions.
This latest development will come as a sad one for all Barcelona fans considering how they have been relying on Messi this season for them to achieve success in the Champions League.
Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly was responsible for Messi’s swollen ankle in Barcelona’s Champions League win over the Italian side.
Barcelona were given a penalty after Koulibaly’s tackle against Messi, but the Argentine was unable to go for the kick which was converted by Luis Suarez.
Spanish radio station Cope reported the 33-year-old was then forced to miss training on Sunday, August 9, and could even sit out of Monday’s session as he continues to limp.
But Barcelona coach Quique Setien has cooled the tension ahead of the Champions League, claiming that there won’t be any problem for Messi.
”Messi? He had some pain, but there shouldn’t be a problem. He was fine. We will analyse it, but there won’t be a problem,” he explained.
