Lionel Messi is injured and would be out for three weeks

Barcelona's all-time record goalscorer Lionel Messi will miss next weekend's Clasico against Real Madrid after suffering a broken arm.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner fell awkwardly on his right arm in the 17th minute of the Liga clash with Sevilla at the Camp Nou on Saturday and was immediately in visible pain.

He underwent treatment as the game continued with his arm being wrapped by trainers while he laid on the sidelines.

Barcelona has comfirmed releasing a statement on Twitter:

Tests carried out on the first team player Leo Messi have confirmed that he has a fracture of the radial bone in his right arm. He will be out for approximately three weeks. #FuerzaLeo
