Lionel Messi is doubtful for Barcelona's away clash against osasuna, The 32-year-old is currently recovering from the calf injury he suffered during 2019 Copa America tourney.
        Barcelona travel to El Sadar Stadium for their third Spanish League game against Osasuna this weekend. Having kicked off their La Liga defence with a defeat to Athletic Bilbao, they bounced back to winning ways following their 5-2 win over Real Betis at Camp Nou on Sunday, August 25. The Catalans boss Ernesto Valverde however insisted that he will not rush Lionel Messi back into the fold as the Argentine is still recuperating from the calf injury he suffered earlier this summer. He said after his side's convincing victory in front of their home fans that he wants the forward to heal fully to avoid relapse in the course of the season. Messi has not featured for the Blaugrana since the season started, with summer signing Antoine Griezmann holding forth for the Spanish league champions. Daily Mail report that the 32-year-old has been training with the club's physios as he hopes to get back to full fitness soon.
