Lionel Messi Seen Almost Vomiting Again
FC Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi has once again left staff and fans worried after being close to vomiting on the pitch against Villarreal on Wednesday.
The Argentine was the Man of the Match in Barcelona’s 3-1 Copa del Rey semi-final first leg victory, but was close to throwing up.
Messi’s on field nausea appears to be become a chronic problem, after it happened as recently as three weeks ago against Atletico Madrid.
The 27-year-old scored the first goal and set up another in the 3-1 win, but had to use a break in the game to catch his breath and could be seen retching.
The problem has been occurring continuously since last season, but so far everyone around Messi has downplayed the incidents.
Messi has also reportedly undergone a battery of tests to determine the cause of his retching, but so far there is no real explanation.
Medical staff and people around Messi have discussed the possibility of the issue being linked to anxiety or pressure, but Spanish media question whether it could be a chronic problem.
Despite his retching problems, Messi has had a brilliant start to 2015, after netting his 11th goal in nine matches this year.
