Villani: Messi to make swift return
The Barcelona and Argentina superstar sustained
a tear in a ligament in his left knee during the
clash with Las Palmas but the national team
medic is unworried by the setbackArgentina team
doctor Donato Villani is confident injured
Barcelona star Lionel Messi will return to action in
less than two months.
Messi is set to miss the next seven-to-eight
weeks after suffering a tear in the internal
collateral ligament of his left knee in Barcelona's
2-1 win over Las Palmas on Saturday.
The 28-year-old's injury is a blow for both Barca
and Argentina, but Villani believes the national
team captain will return quicker than expected.
"For years I've known Leo and I have no doubt
that he will be ready in the shortest possible time
of the injury, perhaps before that period of six-to-
eight weeks," Villani told Ole.
"He gets mad when you cannot play. The desire to
play again and the will to heal can influence."
Villani added: "There is a break in need of surgery.
It heals with rest as a first step and then
kinesiology."
