Lionel Messi's injury has been confirmed and like all fans feared it will result in a bit lengthy lay-off. The club medical staff has confirmed that Messi will be out for six to eight weeks due to a torn hamstring muscle in his left thigh. This is the third injury he has picked up this season and should end all his hope of retaining the Balon d'Or this season. The two earlier injuries suffered on his right leg and now it's the left leg which is in trouble. You can find a video of Messi with fans following the injury.
