Injured Messi doubtful for Barcelona’s Inter match

BARCELONA, Spain (AP)—Lionel Messi was among six Barcelona players to miss training on Sunday ahead of its Champions League match against Inter Milan.

The Argentina forward has a thigh problem and was substituted in the 75th minute of Barcelona’s 1-1 draw at Athletic Bilbao on Saturday. His participation in Tuesday’s game against Inter “has not been ruled out,” Barcelona said on its Web site.

Inter is top of Group F with six points. Rubin Kazan and Barcelona follow with five points each, while Dynamo Kiev has four.

Tests to determine whether defender Rafael Marquez had swine flu proved negative, Barcelona said late Sunday.”We will monitor his development to see if he is fit to play,” the club added.

Teammates Eric Abidal and Yaya Toure have been diagnosed as having the flu virus.

Striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic is sidelined with a hamstring injury and defender Gerard Pique could only do light training in the gym, the club said on its Web site, without giving details of his ailment.

Messi could also be a doubt for Sunday’s “clasico” match against Real Madrid, which leads the defending Spanish champions by one point in the standings after 11 games.

Yuh realize Barca so far marginally have de better of de deal in de swap between Eto'o and Ibrahimovic.

Including League, CL, and Cup play, Eto'o has scored 7 goals for Inter & Ibrahimovic has scored 8 goals for Barca

Both clubs happy with their players.

If is any purgin to be done, I wouldn't be surprised at all if it turn out to be Ibrha purgin Inter as opposed to Eto'o purgin Barca.

So if Rubin beats Dinamo and Barca loses to Inter, Barca is out regardless of whether Barca beats Dinamo and Inter beats Rubin in the last round?

I believe so. Allyuh third in the table. Inter one point ahead, Barca and Rubin tied but they're ahead probably on goals.

If allyuh lorse to Inter and Rubin win...bye bye Los Trepletes.

Actually, BARCA IS CURRENTLY SECOND IN THE TABLE with a superior goal difference over Rubin.

Unless the first tie breaker is head to head matches, then goal difference will be the decider between the two providing the scenario plays out like I suggested above.

I suspect you're being a little premature (TUSTEE) with your prediction ma'am

Then UEFA is correct based on this:

If two or more teams are level on points they are split by (a) higher number of points obtained in the group matches played among the teams in question,

Hopefully for your sake, your prediction come true.  Because you know if you fail to beat Zurich at home, your team could well be out having to play Marseille in Marseille in your last game.   And den we go have to send out an alert to all dem stores dat does sell pesticide and ting to mek sure not to sell anyting to yuh.
