The 2015 Ballon d’Or winner Lionel Messi suffered a minor setback after it was announced that the 28-year-old forward would undergo a medical procedure to address his kidney problems.
Barcelona issued the statement regarding the status of Messi, though it seems that the treatment is unlikely to keep him out of action for long.
In fact, Messi is expected to be around when his team faces Valencia.
Though Messi is the primary attacking threat for Barca, Neymar and Suarez are seen as more than enough to cover up for the Argentine player until he is ready to take the field once more.
