Barcelona's Lionel Messi: Out three weeks

Messi will be sidelined for three weeks due to the groin strain in his right leg suffered on Wednesday against Atletico Madrid.

Analysis:

Messi came off in the 59th minute of Wednesday's match, and while Barcelona have plenty of depth in their attack, there is no replacing Messi. Neymar and Luis Suarez will obviously take on more of the scoring burden, with Angel Correa, Paco Alcacer and Arda Turan looking at more playing time with Messi out.
