Barcelona star Lionel Messi has been to see medical experts after vomiting during recent matches.<\/p>\n

Messi, 26, was sick on the field during Argentina’s midweek draw in Romania.<\/p>\n

“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.<\/p>\n

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

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.<\/p>\n

It has been previously reported that he has been sick during matches for the Spanish champions.<\/p>\n

“He has even gone to see specialists at certain times but their tests have proved inconclusive,” added Martino.<\/p>\n
