Barcelona's all-time record goalscorer Lionel
Messi will miss next weekend's El Clasico against Real Madrid after suffering a
broken arm. The five-time Ballon d'Or winner fell awkwardly on his right arm in
the 17th minute of the La Liga clash with Sevilla at the Camp Nou on Saturday
and was immediately in visible pain. He underwent treatment as the game
continued with his arm being wrapped by trainers while he laid on the
sidelines.
However, he remained down after treatment in
obvious discomfort and was unable to continue, eventually being replaced by
Ousmane Dembele after 26 minutes. The club have now confirmed he has fractured
a bone in his right arm, ruling him out for the next three weeks including the
visit of their arch rivals, along with a crucial Champions League tie against
Serie A side Inter.
