The head coach of Barcelona spoke about the functional condition of striker Lionel Messi.

April 17, Barcelona will fight the 33rd round of the championship of Spain against Celta.

According to the head coach of the "blue-garnet" Ernesto Valverde, in this match may not play team leader Lionel Messi.

"Quite possibly, I will give Messi a rest, like some other players," Ernesto said..

"The other day Lionel had a great match, so do not worry".

"In Argentina, too, everyone is calm, because Messi still has a lot of strength, he is fully enough for the World Cup," - quotes coach Marca.

Earlier it was reported that the defeat of Roma in the Champions League (0: 3) had a very negative impact on the morale of Messi.
