Messi has been battling with niggling calf problem, which he sustained at the beginning of August, and his new injury seems to be with his left thigh.. He received treatment after half an hour at Camp Nou and while he continued until the interval, he was forced out and immediately replaced by Ousmane Dembele at the start of the second half.
