UCL: Rubin Kazan V Barcelona Today At 17.30 Bst by eyoniggar(m): 1:32pm On Sep 29, 2010 |
Lionel Messi will have to pass a fitness test on his ankle to play for Barcelona in the Champions League on Wednesday at Rubin Kazan, which stunned the Spanish champions at the Camp Nou in last season's tournament. Barcelona assistant coach Tito Vilanova said the Argentina forward has not yet received the all-clear to play against an opponent the Spanish club has spent a lot of time studying and believes is less likely to cause a similar shock result. Messi sprained the internal and external ligaments of his right ankle in the Sept. 20 match against Atletico Madrid after being fouled by defender Tomas Ujfalusi. He hasn't played since and wasn't originally expected to be fit to play Rubin. Before flying to Russia, Messi trained with the squad for first time since his MRI scan. But he has been advised to be cautious as any aggravation could lead to serious consequences, Vilanova said. "Leo always wants to play and this injury is progressing well each day," Vilanova said. "It is important for him to recover well. With injuries like this, sometimes if you don't recover properly there can be long-term problems." Last season, Rubin midfielder Alexander Ryazantsev's long-range goal gave the Russian club a 1-0 win in Barcelona. Vilanova said his team had been thrown by Rubin's tactics. "They played in a way that didn't make it at all easy for us," Vilanova said. "We have looked back at the games they played against us." Rubin coach Kurban Berdyev is likely to have a full-strength squad with Spanish defender Cesar Navas returning from suspension. Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola has been instructing his midfield to provide increased support in attack. All three goals in the team's 3-1 win at Athletic Bilbao on Saturday came from midfielders Seydou Keita, Xavi Hernandez and Sergio Busquets. But whatever the result, Vilanova says Barcelona won't be overly concerned. "It is important but not that much — it's only the second game in the group," he said Barca wud prevail. |

You can beat rubin on a counter but barca will prefer to still touch the ball around because they obviously do not have a plan B. |
