Setien Believes Messi Can Resist Pain

DBasia.news –  Quique Setien claimed to have not worried about the condition of Lionel Messi who is said to be playing with pain. He believes La Pulga knows the limits of his physical endurance.

Barcelona is experiencing a front-line crisis after Ousmane Dembele and Luis Suarez were injured. Both are predicted to be absent until the end of the season.

The situation worsen for Barcelona after Messi was reported to have suffered a thigh injury. La Pulga is said to have forced himself to continue to appear in the last few games as El Barca were lacking up front.

Faced with this situation, Setien stressed that he was not worried about Messi’s condition. He believes that the Argentine national team captain understands his physical condition well.

Messi will most likely be played by Setien again this weekend. Barcelona must face Getafe at Camp Nou, Saturday (02/15/2020) night WIB.

“Messi, like many other players certainly knows what he can do and what he cannot do. If he is on the field, it is because he can play. He is fine, there is no problem,” he stated as quoted by Sportskeeda.

“Like other players, there will be times when we have to rest him. However, I haven’t been here long enough to be able to evaluate that.

“These players have been used to playing on Sundays and then appearing again on Wednesday for years. This shows that they don’t have to be rested, but we’ll see,” added the former Real Betis coach.

Messi’s energy is clearly needed by the Blaugrana. Bearing in mind, the Argentine player has a huge influence on Barcelona by packing 19 goals and 15 assists this season.
