Lionel Messi vomited during the Al Ahli friendly clash in Qatar

He went to one side of the pitch to recover, drinking water and then getting back on the pitch without problems

Lionel Messi suffered in the first part of Barcelona’s clash, throwing up in the 25th minute of the game. He went to one side of the pitch to recover, drinking water and then getting back on the pitch without problems. 

Messi, Neymar and Suarez all went off after half-an-hour for Alcacer Denis Suarez and Arda Turan. 

The Argentine has been treated for digestive problems by medical specialists. He was bending over to vomit here on the pitch. Initially it seemed liked a nasal problem but it became apparent it was not. 

 

Like under Tata Martino, the vomiting didn’t seem to stem from a physical problem and he was able to carry on without any issue.
