SPANISH club Barcelona defeated Atlético Madrid 2-1 in a league match on September 19. But the win came at a price – the club’s star striker Lionel Messi, 23, was injured badly after a wild tackle (铲球). The tackle damaged part of Messi’s right ankle (脚踝), causing it to swell (肿) up. Tests showed the injury was not as serious as first thought. Messi will miss the club’s next two games. Barcelona coach Guardiola said Messi could return in two or three weeks but the club would not rush him back into action.
