Barcelona star Lionel Messi has received yet another bad news ahead Osasuna's clash as he will be missing out of action due to his calf injury.
The Argentine had earlier returned to training individually with the team's fitness coach with him doing some run out with his teammate but he has been ruled out of the game against the newly promoted team who are unbeaten at home on the last 26 games and he is expected to return to action after the international break.
Barcelona boss, Ernesto Valverde claims he won't rush Messi's return to the starting line-up, as the club captain's recovery has been slower than expected. At first there were reports of an injury setback, but the club have categorically denied that, confirming that they just want to be cautious with their superstar.
Following their trip to Estadio El Sadar, Barcelona play another tricky LaLiga Santander game against Valencia at the Camp Nou on September 14. The last time the Catalans faced Valencia they lost 2-1 in the Copa del Rey final.
