Lionel Messi has been ruled out of next week's El Clasico after Barcelona confirmed he fractured his arm in Saturday's win over Sevilla at the Nou Camp.

Messi went down awkwardly in the 17th minute of the clash, and although he returned to the pitch with strapping on his right arm, he was eventually forced off nine minutes after the incident to be replaced by Ousmane Dembele.

After the match, Barca posted a tweet confirming the injury.

It read: "Tests carried out on the first team player Leo Messi have confirmed that he has a fracture of the radial bone in his right arm. He will be out for approximately three weeks."
