Messi to miss Barcelona’s last game of the season with future undecided

The 33-year-old has been given permission to sit out the meeting with Eibar on Sunday

Lionel Messi may have played his last game for Barcelona after it was confirmed he will miss Sunday’s clash with Eibar.

The Camp Nou side will finish their campaign with a trip to Eibar but have little to play for after being ruled out of the title race with a 2-1 loss to Celta Vigo last week.

But they will line up without their talisman as Messi has been given permission by Ronald Koeman to sit out the weekend’s game.

“The Argentine Leo Messi has not trained on Friday with the coach’s permission and he will not be in the squad for the game against Eibar on Saturday,” the club confirmed on Friday.

“The striker can enjoy a rest before next month’s Copa America after a season in which he is one of the players in the squad who has played most.”
