Lionel Messi had to be taken off in the one all draw against Atletico Madrid with fears that he would be out.
Their fears have been confirmed as the Barcelona forward will now miss the next three weeks with a groin injury.
Barcelona confirmed the injury via their twitter account and it is a piece of news that is sure to be met with a lot of dismay.
Barcelona are not without backup though, as it was for this very reason that Pablo Alcacer was purchased from Valencia in the transfer window.
