Barcelona ace Messi suffers new hamstring injury

Lionel Messi will undergo hamstring tests today after suffering a setback in Barcelona's win at Atletico Madrid.

It was in the 67th minute when the Argentine could not longer continue, thus leaving his team with 10 men - all three substitutes had already been used by Tito Vilanova.

The coach revealed: "We've managed this case [Messi's injury] in the best possible way. He was feeling good but the pain can come back immediately, this usually happens with muscle injuries."
