According to a recent report from Sport, RAC1 note that Messi is set to be out for a month after suffering a relapse regarding this calf problem, news that will not be good for the club to hear at all.
Messi is one of the best players on the planet, and his presence is surely going to be missed by Barcelona should he actually end up sitting on the sidelines for the next month.
