Many have commented on Lionel Messi’s recent slump in form, but his club Barcelona have said that he has been receiving treatment for muscle pains in recent weeks.Until now the club have not confirmed the news, but now they say that this problem has been going on since just before his most recent international break with Argentina.
In fact, he has been attended by his trusted Italian physician, Doctor Poser. This is the same doctor that advised him on his special diet. It’s clear that the league leaders’ talisman has not quite been up to it during these games, failing to hit the net in five, his longest barren stretch since 2010.While it has been acknowledged that the aches had subsided to a certain extent in recent days, the annoyance remains.Both Messi and Barcelona manager Luis Enrique have been unwilling to curtail his involvement during a rigorous and crucial part of the season, both on the Champions League and domestic fronts.
