Barcelona Star Seeks Medical Advice Over Strange Vomit

Barcelona star Lionel Messi has been to see medical experts after vomiting during recent matches.

Messi, 26, was sick on the field during Argentina’s midweek draw in Romania.

“Something is not right, but it doesn’t affect his performance. It happens to him regularly,” said Barcelona boss Gerardo Martino before Saturday’s match at Valladolid.

“But it isn’t a cause for concern. It doesn’t affect him at all in terms of doing his job.”

The four-time Ballon d’Or winner also appeared to vomit on the pitch during half-time of Argentina’s friendly against Bolivia in March 2013.

It has been previously reported that he has been sick during matches for the Spanish champions.

“He has even gone to see specialists at certain times but their tests have proved inconclusive,” added Martino.
