Disturbing news for the Blaugrana as left footed dynamite, Lionel Messi is out of el clasico against Real Madrid.

The FC Barcelona medical team, led by Doctor Ricardo pruna, have confirmed that Lionel Messi has strained the femoral bicep in his left leg. This implies the Argentine will be out for at least three weeks and could stay pout up to a fourth.

Messi was injured while sprinting toward the ball in the 42nd minute of the match against Valencia and promptly knew something had gone wrong with his leg as he signalled to the Barca bench to replace him. The magician was immediately replaced by Giovani dos Santos, another left-footed wonder who will have to fill the gap to be left by Messi against Real Madrid next week.
