The striker picked up a knock late on against the Ukrainians
Barcelona star Lionel Messi is doubtful for the city derby against Espanyol after picking up a knock in the 2-1 win away to Dynamo Kiev in the UEFA Champions League.
The Argentinian wizard was subjected to a number of tough tackles throughout the game from a physical Ukrainian outfit but was rewarded for his perserverance four minutes from time, curling in an exquisite free kick off the under side of the crossbar to knock the hosts out of European competition this season.
In the dying stages of the game Messi shipped another heavy challenge and in the end limped off the pitch. Initial examination by club physicians suggest that he has suffered a minor ankle sprain, according to AS, making him doubtful for Saturday's Primera Liga tie against the Blanc i Blau at Camp Nou.
Messi is likely to undergo a scan tomorrow in Barcelona to determine the full extent of the injury and coach Pep Guardiola will be sweating over the Argentinian stars availability with the Blaugrana set to take part in the FIFA Club World Cup in Abu Dhabi next week.
