In a statement, Barca said Messi “is completing the
treatment for his right ankle, and is expected to return to training after the
FC Barcelona v SD Eibar match”.
Messi has already missed two matches for Barca in December,
as he sat out their Champions League fixtures at Dynamo Kiev and Ferencvaros.
Messi has played 18 times this season for the five-time
European champions, scoring 10 times.
His last goal, the third in a 3-0 win at Real Valladolid on
Wednesday, took the Argentine past Pele for the number of goals scored for one
club.
His strike in the 65th minute took him to 644 goals, one
more than the number Brazilian icon Pele scored for Santos.
After a troubling start to the campaign Barca have taken 10
points from their last four games and sit fifth in La Liga.
However, Ronald Koeman’s side find themselves eight points
behind league leaders Atletico Madrid, with Barca having also played one game
more.
