Barcelona have confirmed that forward Lionel Messi will be unable to play for at least three weeks after an injury to his arm.

Messi went down on his arm in the first half of Barcelona’s match against Sevilla.

After being taken off, reports say Messi would go to the hospital for further checks.

The scans have showed that Messi broke his arm and will be out of football for at least three weeks.

Messi had already provided the assist for Phillipe Coutinho's goal last night in the 2nd minute of the match at the Camp Nou.

And just before the 30th minute mark, he scored to double Barcelona’s Lead.

But just minutes after scoring, Messi fell awkwardly, seemingly landing on his outstretched arm as he attempted to cushion his fall.

The Argentine star looked to be in agony as he was dragged off the pitch by two members of medical staff.

Barcelona have now confirmed he will be out for three weeks.

A Barcelona statement 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. #FuerzaLeo”

Lionel Messi will now the Champions League match against Inter Milan, also El-Clasico Vs Real Madrid and a host of matches.

This means that next Saturday's El Clasico will be one of the first in recent memory to not involve either Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo.

However, Barcelona won their match 4-2 against Sevilla despite Messi's injury in the first half.

You will come back stronger Messi.

Your impact will be felt but we would survive.

ELCLASICo with Ronaldo and Messi is that one special?

for the first time since 2007 there would be a clasico with out the two greatest of all time.

Cristiano Ronaldo Is The Greatest Footballer Of All Time. Meanwhile merry christmas and happy new year to him on the sideline.

Barca will still trash Madrid in El classico. The departure of CR7 revealed Real Madrid should be called Fake Madrid.

Barça will surely suffer without Messi

why??

Quick recovery to the greatest of all time..though not your fan

6:0 wey real Madrid for chop don reduce to 3:0. Certainly soccer goat messi would have scored hat trick.

In other news, nnamdi kanu n his fellow ipobians should better respect themselves. We no do again after all he is not more Igbo than us!!! We can't be loyal to a self acclaimed hero that runs away from the war front at the hit of the battle. He shouldn't in anyway take for granted the logical, intellectual and diplomatic nature of Alhaji Atiku for granted. Nnamdi cownu has proven himself to be a local animal that runs away on sight of cane/rod. They should tell him that hidden cane/rod is more harmful and dreaded than a seen one ooo! Atiku might be Fulani but u can't compare a learned Fulani to someone that is a daura-cow offspring, that is only cow-minded. I wonder where that albino of a man called nnamdi kownu has been all this while now he wants to surface all to distract us, God punish him and that his agenda. Since the man is suffering from tourette syndrome with Albinoism brain, someone should tell him since he escaped from the python dance he won't escape the hurricane dance that is about befalling him n him alone will be the victim this time around. Stupid idiot!!

Speediest recovery oluwa messi...

I was sad when I read he would be out for 3 weeks. However, this is a little test to see how Barca would play in the coming years without Messi. This would obviously make other players work twice as hard especially El' pistero who has been lazy all this while only to come good yesterday immediately the G.O.A.T was taken off the pitch. This would even serve as a morale booster, imagine beating Madrid without Messi.. Wishing the team best of luck

Fowl yansh wan blow be that

Shorty Messi.

Watched the match partially last night.

The minute I saw Messi fall down like that...I knew.

Knew someone who had a similar injury. Fell on his outstretched hand....fractured his radius. Ouch.

Fall on Outstretched arm injury...ouch

JoseVanMoyes:

BIAFRONIGERIAN:

kaluxy007:

Here in GOAT Temple we don't know those names....


Sounds like zambian movie names to me

michony505:
Hmmmm....... El Classico will be boring

it won't be, El classico is more than the any player, it is more about the clubs. Both clubs are still star studed
Madrid has isco,kroos,Marcelo, Asensio
Barca has Countinho, Suarez, Dembouz, Busquet
So it would still be interesting

Is there sense rating Ronaldo ahead of Messi?

This matter has been weakin me since year 0001

Walexybobo:
No Ronaldo,no Messi, End of el classico.

Classico is more than any player..Classico would still be classico after Messi and Cr7 retires

Quick recovery to the GOAT Messi, we ll miss you

He achieved all this during a period when bad tackles were rife in football, pitches were bad, the ball was not easy to play on target, referees were extremely lenient and there was virtually not protection for skillful players.

Instead of arguing with me, argue with Google.
