Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi has been ruled out of next week’s El Clasico, after the club confirmed he fractured his arm in Saturday’s 4-2 win over Sevilla at the Nou Camp.
In the 17th minute of the clash, Messi went down awkwardly and was eventually forced off nine minutes after the incident, and replaced by Ousmane Dembele.
After the match, Barca posted a tweet confirming the injury.
It read: “Tests carried out on the first team player Leo Messi have confirmed that he has a fracture of the radial bone in his right arm. He will be out for approximately three weeks.”
The prolific forward will also be absent for the Champions League clash at home to Inter Milan on Wednesday.
If the time of his recovery span over exactly three weeks, then he will be out of the Copa Del Rey trip to Cultural Leonesa, as well as the league trip to Rayo Vallecano, the return Champions League match with Inter and possibly the home league game with Real Betis on November 11.
