Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi is likely to undergo a minor kidney operation on Tuesday, according to reports in the Spanish media.
Messi, 28, missed the Club World Cup semifinal in December due to renal colic, a type of abdominal pain commonly caused by kidney stones, and will undergo further tests to be certain of the severity of ailment.
The five-time ballon d’Or winner featured for 90 minutes in Barca’s 2-0 win at Levante on Sunday, but was reportedly excused from training with the team on Monday and is a doubt for the club’s Copa del Rey semifinal second leg against Valencia on Wednesday.
Spanish daily Sport writes: “FC Barcelona striker Lionel Messi will undergo several tests on Monday and Tuesday to assess the evolution of the kidney problems he suffered last December. Messi will return to his normal duties with the first team on Wednesday.”
The defending Copa del Rey champions take a commanding 7-0 lead to the Mestella with Messi grabbing a hat-trick and Luis Suarez four in the Camp Nou rout.
Barcelona released a statement Monday explaining that Messi’s absence is due to “several tests” regarding his kidneys, but stopped short of saying he was having surgery:
“Leo Messi will be submitted for different tests on Monday and Tuesday to assess the development of the kidney problems suffered in December.
“On Wednesday the player will return to training with the first team.”
Messi has missed just one game for Luis Enrique’s men this year, as Barca have won 10 and drawn just one in all competitions.

Special Adviser to President Buhari on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, says contrary to opinion held by some people, Buhari’s five day vacation is for him to rest and that he is not sick.
Adesina who was a guest on Channels TV yesterday night, said Buhari had worked for eight straight months since he assumed office and needs rest
“Any man can fall sick, old or young, but the president is not sick, the president is well. The president has worked for more than eight months non-stop, and he felt it was time to take a respite and he asked for six days leave and he did it the proper way. He communicated it to the national assembly, handed over power to his deputy and nothing is wrong with that.”he said
He denied claims that Buhari’s vacation appeared sudden.
“Do you go on vacation because you are sick? You need respite from time to time and when you think it is time for respite, you take it. There is absolutely nothing wrong with his state of health. “Nigerians have been lied to for so long that they are now finding it difficult to believe the truth and that is the problem. You have told the truth yet they did not believe it because they have a carry-over of those who have lied to them for many decades but this government will not lie; it will tell the truth.”he said
