BREAKING: Messi ruled out of Club World Cup semi-finals

Lionel Messi has been ruled out of Barcelona’s Club World Cup semi-final as a result of renal colic, the club have confirmed.

The European champions stated earlier on Thursday that Messi is suffering from renal colic and will therefore sit out the game, while his involvement in the final or third-place play-off will be determined by his recovery.

The former Santos forward posted a picture from training with the caption “I’m back” but head coach Luis Enrique has already warned he will not take any unecessary risks over his fitness.

The government as a whole cannot import their needs and have to dig into their reserves to try to keep every Tom, Dick, and Harr...
