Messi doubtful for Barcelona opener
Posted Friday, August 16, 2013 by Foxsports.com
Barcelona are concerned over the fitness of Lionel Messi ahead of Sunday's season-opening La Liga meeting with Levante.
The 26-year-old striker did some special rehabilitation exercises in the gym at the Ciutat Esportiva training complex on Wednesday with Barca physio Juanjo Brau, designed to help him recover from his quadriceps injury.
The Argentina talisman had flown back from Rome before his country's 2-1 friendly victory over Italy on Wednesday and, in a statement on their official website, Barca insisted they will not be talking any risks in rushing Messi back for the Levante match this weekend.
