Lionel Messi faces a fight to be fit for Barcelona’s Champions League quarter-final match against Manchester United after sustaining an injury for Argentina on international duty.
The forward, 31, captained his side as they were defeated 3-1 by Venezuela – and after playing the full 90 minutes in the match it transpired he had picked up an injury to his pelvis.

Messi could miss the United match with injury
In a statement, Barcelona confirmed Messi will miss Argentina’s next match against Morocco.
“Lionel Messi did not have the return to international action that he would have wanted, and an injury picked up on Friday night means he will miss Argentina’s game against Morocco on Tuesday,” the statement read.
“The FC Barcelona star captained his side and played the entire 90 minutes of the friendly against Venezuela at the Wanda Metropolitano in Madrid, but they would lose 1-3.
“It was his first appearance since the 2018 World Cup quarter final loss against France, which was followed by a short-lived international retirement for Argentina’s all-time top goalscorer.

“Whilst he would feature from start to finish, a problem with his pubis means that Messi will not play in the second friendly of the international break.”
It is believed the injury is a recurrence to a previous problem Messi has had in his pelvic region.
Both Argentina and Barcelona were not willing to take risks on the forward and he was sent straight back to Catalonia following the match.
