Barcelona forward Lionel Messi is reportedly set to miss the team's La Liga showdown with Osasuna on Saturday due to injury.
According to Javier Miguel of AS, while there is a small chance of the Argentina international being ready for the game, Barcelona are unlikely to risk his involvement.
It's said Messi continued his recovery on Wednesday by working alone with a physio, meaning he will have a maximum of two sessions before the Osasuna clash. Should he miss that encounter, the 32-year-old will not line up in Barcelona colours until 14 September against Valencia, after the international break.
