Barcelona’s Argentine star Lionel Messi will be sidelined for 6-8 weeks due to a muscle tear in his left hamstring muscle, the Spanish giants said Monday.
The 26-year-old limped off after just 20 minutes of Barcelona’s 4-1 win over Real Betis on Sunday.
‘The club’s medical services confirmed after tests this Monday morning that Leo Messi has a torn hamstring muscle in his left thigh and is expected to miss the next 6 to 8 weeks,’ Barcelona said in a statement.
