Injury scare for FC Barcelona ahead of Osasuna clash.
Argentine wonder, Lionel Messi may not have the opportunity to perform his magic in Pamplona this weekend, as the soccer meastro was slightly injured while representing his country against Australia in the midweek friendly encounter in which Mesi steered Argentina to victory. Lionel Messi has a strained muscle in his right thigh and will have to miss the Osasuna game in order to increase his chances of recovery and playing well in subsequent matches for Barca. It's a long season ahead, and being fot for many matches is the main priority.
Messi trained seperately from other players this week, as more concentration was given on his muscle therapy in order to aid quicker recovery.
Bojan krkic and Eidur Gudjohnsen may be called in to replace injured Messi and another previously injured striker, Samuel Eto'o.
