Lionel Messi is a serious doubt for Barcelona’s LaLiga opener against Athletic Bilbao next weekend.
The Ballon d’Or winner missed Barça’s trip to the United States due to a calf strain and is more than likely set to be out for their first league game.
Ernesto Valverde has admitted that it is “difficult” to see Messi recovering in time for their game with the Basque outfit on Friday.
But even without their star man the Blaugrana looked good on their mini sojourn to the States.
Antoine Griezmann netted his first goals for the club in a comfortable 4-0 win over Napoli while Ousmane Dembélé and Luis Suarez also impressed.
