Barcelona have announced the injury suffered by Lionel Messi in victory over Villarreal.
In a heavy blow, the Argentine has been diagnosed with an elongation in the adductor of his left leg.
It remains to be seen whether or not the La Masia graduate will be ready to play against Getafe, although it is assumed at this moment that he will miss that match.
What will follow is a race against time in order for him to be fully fit to face Inter in the Champions League on Wednesday.
“The first team player, Lionel Messi, has an elongation in the adductor of his left thigh,” a club statement read.
One positive is that an elongation is not a break and any absence for Messi will likely be shorter than it could have been.
