Injury Report: Leo Ruled Out For The Derby

Lionel Messi held out through all of Dynamo Kiev's hardcore fouling as long as he could, but at the end of the match unfortuantely he finally did go down with what has now been confirmed as a sprained ankle. He won't be able to participate in Barca's derby against Espanyol tomorrow, and there are Club World Cup doubts as well.

It really sucks not to have Leo available for these games, especially after he had to miss out on Barca's CWC participation back in 2006 also due to injury. And he was just saying how much he wants this, too... but all we can do is wait and hope that he'll be ready for the Cup by the time it rolls around.
