Lionel Messi will return in less than two months: Team doctor

Barcelona's Argentinian forward Lionel Messi (sitting) is surrounded by other players after being injured during the Spanish league football match FC Barcelona v UD Las Palmas at the Camp Nou stadium in Barcelona

"For years I've known Leo and I have no doubt that he will be ready in the shortest possible time of the injury, perhaps before that period of six-to-eight weeks," Villani was quoted as saying by ole.com on Sunday.


The 28-year-old's injury is a blow for both Barca and Argentina but Villani believes the Argentina national team captain will return quicker than expected.

"He gets mad when he cannot play. The desire to play again and the will to heal can influence. There is a break in need of surgery. It heals with rest as a first step and then kinesiology," Villani said.
