Messi vomiting ‘not normal,’ claims Barcelona manager

RECENT episodes of vomiting suffered by Barcelona forward Lionel Messi are “not normal” but they do not affect his performance and there is no cause for alarm, coach Gerardo Martino said yesterday.

Messi was sick during Argentina’s 0-0 draw with Romania on Wednesday and the four-time World Player of the Year said it was something that had occurred several times at Barcelona but was nothing to be concerned about.

“It happens to him regularly and he has even gone to see specialists at certain times,” Martino told a news conference ahead of Barcelona’s La Liga game at Real Valladolid today.

“They haven’t solved the problem but it isn’t a cause for concern. It doesn’t affect him at all in terms of doing his job.”
