Messi not present for Barcelona training due to discomfort

Ronald Koeman confirmed in Tuesday's pre-match press conference that Lionel Messi is one of several Barcelona players feeling some discomfort after their 4-0 win away at Granada last Saturday, which resulted in the Argentine missing Wednesday's light training session.

Messi was present for training on Tuesday, however, as Barcelona prepare to take on Real Sociedad in the Supercopa de Espana semi-finals.

There is understandably caution with Messi, so it is still unclear whether he will start against La Real on Wednesday night at the Estadio Nuevo Arcangel.
