Well the bad news is that the world's greatest soccer player will miss a few games.
And the good news is that it could have been much worse for Barcelona and Argentina superstar Lionel Messi who damaged ligaments in his right ankle on Sunday.
Lionel Messi will miss at least two games after damaging ligaments in his right ankle during Barcelona's 2-1 win at Atletico Madrid.
Barcelona says medical exams performed Monday on the Argentine star's ankle ruled out any fracture, as expected.
Messi will miss Spanish league matches against Sporting Gijon on Wednesday and Athletic Bilbao three days later. Barcelona plays Rubin Kazan in a Champions League match Sept. 29.
The 23-year-old world player of the year has scored seven goals in six games this season. He was injured after a challenge from Atletico defender Tomas Ujfalusi during extra time of Sunday's game.
You have to believe Barcelona's training staff won't let their franchise risk anymore injury, especially in a Champions League game that they should roll in even if I was starting over Messi.
