Barca wait on Messi injury ahead of Celtic game

Barcelona defender Adriano is keeping his fingers crossed the injury Lionel Messi picked up during their record-breaking 2-0 win at Almeria is nothing serious, admitting the Spanish champions are a different proposition with the Argentina ace in their line-up.

Messi was replaced soon after opening the scoring in the 21st minute with his 11th goal of the season in all competitions, with Barca subsequently confirming he had suffered an injury to his right thigh.
