Lionel Messi will be out of action for "approximately six weeks" the Barça medical staff confirmed after tests revealed that he has torn his femroal bicep in his left thigh during the game against Celtic.


The statement clarified that "the club medical services want to make clear that since the start of hte season the player has continued to work on a specific training programme for his characteristics. The result of the data obtained through the different work and controls has allowed the player to play in each match." For that reason, a decision is made before each game as to whether he can play or not.

Also, it was said that despite his prevention "as with any injury there is the risk of an accident which is difficult to predict. This type of specific work wil continue through the season with the player."
