It was one of the surprises of the week with Argentina and has gone back it to be with the FC Barcelona, although this more expected era. Ernesto Valverde does not risk with Leo Messi 'touched' and him apart from the eleven initial against the Seville. It will have to expect his turn
When Leo Messi left with the selection of Argentina, in the changing room of the FC Barcelona already knew the existence of some muscular annoyances in his right leg. In his moment no gave him more importance of the necessary, but so much the 'albiceleste' as the Catalans have been following his evolution during the last weeks.
The caution carried to Jorge Sampaoli and to the rest of technicians of the combined sudamericano to leave to the '10' out of the friendly of selections, conscious of all what will have to face in the next months, but Ernesto Valverde has gone a step further, carrying him once again to the bench in LaLiga.
Valverde No plays it to him with the annoyances of Messi
The preparador extremeño has not doubted too much in spite of recognising in press conference the importance of the commitment that his have to confront in the Sánchez Pizjuán. When it treats of a so decisive piece for the team, the risk has to be zero. All the titles explain, but when it speaks of the integrity of the rosarino, are greater words.
"It is truth that are taking care it, as they took care him in his selection because had some annoyances, and this have to take it into account. We know that these injuries can comport a muscular break and this already would be much graver", reflexionó the Txingurri in front of the means, leaving clear the reason by which this Saturday has finish giving him rest.
If it is not Messi, play Coutinho, Dembélé and Suárez
What has remained the same of clear is that if Leo Messi is not available, the Barça has solutions. As it already occurred in front of the Málaga, when the birth of his son Ciro separated him to last hour of the party, the alternative is a trident with Philippe Coutinho, Luis Suárez and Ousmane Dembélé, although the Brazilian is used to to start incrustado in the medullary for descolgarse in attack.
With a duel underlined in the Barcelona calendar to start with to finish LaLiga, the presence of the Argentinian is in doubt. If the marker is favourable to the culés, could even not participating, centring his efforts in going back to 100% against the Rome. This yes, the decision will depend on Valverde and of the own footballer, a society that is giving a lot of joys.
