Barcelona fear Lionel Messi 'war' as Argentina hope to rush skipper back into action
Rushing back: Barcelona fear that Argentina are going to rush Messi back to fitness
Barcelona fear a “war” for Lionel Messi , according to Catalan daily SPORT.
The Argentina captain has been absent for both club and country through injury since damaging his knee ligaments in Barca’s victory over Las Palmas last month.
But after the Albiceleste got off to a disastrous start to the World Cup qualifying campaign, suffering a historic defeat at home to Ecuador before drawing away to Paraguay, the expectation is the Argentines will try to rush back their captain.
This is bad news, of course, for the Nou Camp club who are hoping to have Messi back and fit for el clásico on November 21.
Argentina now face two crunch qualifiers against tough opponents the week before, with Brazil the visitors on November 12 and then a tie with Colombia five days later. Defeats in those games would put Gerardo Martino’s men on course to miss the World Cup finals for only the second time in their history.
