Barcelona management are refusing to write-off Lionel Messi's chances of facing Inter Milan in the Champions League.

After breaking down in their 1-1 draw with Athletic Bilbao on Saturday, it was expected Messi would be out of both the clash with Inter, plus the massive Real Madrid game this weekend.

However, after club docs examined Messi back at HQ on Sunday, the seriousness of the leg injury was downgraded.

Barca coach Pep Guardiola wants Messi to play against Inter, though he's been warned by the club's former medical chief Josep Borrell.

Borrell told local radio last night: "If he plays tomorrow and is injured, he could be out for a month."

please flow wahat the dactor said about messi, dont allow him to play against inter as we know we are having problems due to the players injury and Flu H1N1, but I am sure the remaining players can play well and win the game, there is nothinmg difficult to us because the inter players are 11 and alos barcelona players are 11 so we are all the same.
So help us God to win this hot game.

Knowing Guardiola he won't start Messi even if he's given the all clear. Sub appearance is the most we can expect here, and I'm glad for that tbh because it would be a huge blow to lose him for longer.
