"Messi hasn't trained today, with the permission of the club, due to personal reasons," Barca said in a statement. The Argentine continued his fine form with the winning goal as Barca came from behind twice to beat Villarreal 3-2 on Sunday.


Yet, it is just over a month since Messi missed another training session, claiming to be suffering from gastroenteritis, a day after he had been left on the bench for Barca's 0-1 defeat at Real Sociedad.


His absence on that occasion sparked a mini-crisis at the club as speculation grew over coach Luis Enrique's future due to his frosty relationship with his star player.
