Lionel Messi will miss Barcelona’s game against Eibar in the Spanish La Liga due to an ongoing treatment on his right ankle.
The Argentine “is expected to return to training” after the game scheduled for December 29, 2020, Barcelona said on their official website.
Messi has scored ten goals in 18 outings for Barcelona in the 2020/2021 campaign, which is his worst start in the last 13 seasons.
He recently surpassed Brazil’s Pele as the highest goal scorer for a single club. This was after he netted his 644th goal for Barcelona in the club’s 3-0 win against Real Valladolid.
The 33-year-old is expected to leave Barcelona at the end of the season when his contract with the club expires.
Manchester City and Paris St-Germain are expected to make a move for the six-time Ballon dOr winner.
If he moves to City, he will be reuniting with former Barcelona manager Pep Guardiola who recently extended his contract with the English Premier League side.
A move to PSG would mean a reunion with Neymar who left Barcelona for the French Ligue 1 side in 2017.
