Inter, El Clasico and more - which games will Messi miss with broken arm?

Lionel Messi suffered a fractured arm after an awkward fall in Barcelona's 4-2 win over Sevilla on Saturday and he stands to miss some crucial matches as a result.

The Argentina superstar scored Barca's second with a gorgeous 20-yard finish after a swift breakaway in the 12th minute, having already laid on the first for Philippe Coutinho, but he fell awkwardly soon after in a coming together with Sevilla's Franco Vazquez.

He was given medical attention for several minutes on the touchline, with Barca's trainers putting a significant amount of strapping around his right elbow.
