Familiarize young players feel the pressure-filled game

Absent in the opening match of La Liga against Athletic Bilbao, Lionel Messi is expected to return to the Barcelona squad for the next match against Real Betis. Unfortunately that did not happen, the calf injury from the Argentine attacker was worse than expected.
 
He is predicted to be absent for the Blaugrana for four weeks.

Lionel Messi is the most important player in the history of Barcelona in the last 15 years. He is like a talisman to the club, and every time he is on the pitch, Barcelona generally tends to play nicely.

For all his extraordinary abilities, it must be remembered that Lionel Messi is very human with the same weaknesses and shortcomings as all of us.

When he is injured, Barcelona must be prepared to live without their top scorer. The door for young people in the club to shine wide open.

Injuries suffered by Messi and Luis Suarez and Ousmane Dembele have opened opportunities for young people of La Masia to shine.

Carles Perez scored his first senior goal for the club against Real Betis at the weekend. While Ansu Fati who is 16 years old gets the chance of a flash promotion.

As long as Messi remains injured, these new La Masia players will be given the chance to win, and given they have the potential to be the club's future, the sooner they get used to the pressure-filled match, the better the prospects for Barcelona.
