Lionel Messi did not train with his Barcelona teammates on Wednesday morning after being visited at home by club doctors to treat a fever, the club said .
"The Argentine player is suffering from a fever and general sickness," said a statement on the Barcelona website. "The first-team doctors have visited Messi at his home where they have given him the necessary medication and recommended he rest."

Messi played for the full 90 minutes as Barcelona were unceremoniously dumped out of the Copa del Rey on Tuesday night after a 3-1 defeat at home to Real Madrid.

However, the club are still hopeful that the four-time World Player of the Year could be fit for another clash with Madrid in the league on Saturday.

"This Thursday the team has a day off and it is hoped that the Barca number 10 could still train on Friday afternoon, which will be the last training session before the Clasico in the league at the Bernabeu," the club statement added.

Messi has taken part in every league game this season as Barca have built up a 16-point lead over Madrid in the title race.

And by the time they see a doctor, often the cancer has already started to spread. Risk factors While the...

Relationship: Today’s Pressure - Aidy Thomas

  The process of socialisation has made man to live by copying others. This on its own is not a problem because coming to a place (world) where you haven’t been before, it is only safe to follow the steps of those who know the terrain. People with rich story/history telling culture do their best to pass down values to the next generation using simple stories that reflect how their forefathers lived and what they actually believed. Handing down values and belief systems has made different people unique, dynamic and peculiar- it’s a lot easier to tell even by dressing, gestures, looks or behaviour where someone comes from or would have lived for a long time to become part of that system. Apart from innate capabilities, learning and borrowing values from predecessors has a way of giving man a sense of belonging. On the other hand, man has also grown to compete, compare and conspire to outdo one another in every sphere of life. Sometimes, this occurs as secret bat...
