Four-time World Player of the Year Lionel Messi had to be - TopicsExpress



          

Four-time World Player of the Year Lionel Messi had to be withdrawn due a muscle injury for the third time this season after just 20 minutes of Barcelonas clash with Real Betis on Sunday. Messi pulled up as he tried to accelerate with the ball at his feet and immediately walked to the sidelines before being replaced by Andres Iniesta. The Argentine was also substituted with a hamstring problem against Atletico Madrid in August and pulled up with a thigh problem in Barcas win over Almeria at the end of September. Messi has failed to score in La Liga since returning from that injury, marking his longest run without a league goal in over two years. However, he had appeared to have returned to form when he scored twice in Barcas 3-1 win over AC Milan in midweek.
