Despite uncertainty in the media over Lionel Messi’s fitness as Barcelona prepare a Copa del Rey clash against Real Madrid, the Catalan club are completely calm on the matter, according to Diario SPORT.
Messi suffered a light injury in Barcelona’s 2-2 draw with Valencia in La Liga this weekend, although he played the full 90 minutes. Today, the player did not train with the rest of his teammates as a precaution.
The blow he suffered during the match gave him pain and a small muscle spasm that reportedly should not keep him out of the match against Madrid.
