Barcelona have confirmed that Lionel Messi has been ruled out of Saturday’s La Liga trip to Malaga for ‘personal reasons.’

Messi was named in the squad on Friday but will now miss the game, with Yerry Mina taking his place in the travelling party.

[LAST MINUTE] Change to the squad. Messi is out for personal reasons and Yerry Mina takes his place

The Argentine’s absence is, of course, a huge blow for Barcelona particularly as he is in such brilliant form.
