Lionel Messi is set to miss Barcelona’s clash against Real Sociedad tonight through injury, according to a report in ESPN.

He is said to have suffered a minimal injury in Saturday night’s La Liga win over Granada but has continued to feel discomfort in the days since and is almost certain to sit out the Spanish Supercopa tie against La Real.
