False alarm: Messi's knock not serious and he will be fine for Bayern Munich

Lionel Messi gave everyone at Barcelona a scare when he went down under a challenge from Kalidou Koulibaly on Saturday night.

The captain was flattened by the Napoli defender and he stayed down for some time, receiving treatment before Luis Suarez took and scored the resulting penalty.

But Messi, fortunately, isn't seriously injured, according to sources at Barcelona.

He took a blow to his left foot that is now inflamed, but there are no planned medical tests and it's thought that applying ice and basic care will be enough to reduce the swelling.

As a result, Messi's involvement against Bayern Munich isn't in any doubt.
