Messi sustained a muscle injury in his left leg against a physical Atletico Madrid team in midweek as he was withdrawn at half time in the Super Cup game which finished in a 1-1 draw. The second leg is set to take place at the Camp Nou on Wednesday night and it is expected that Messi will recover in time for that.
Martino said Messi's recovery to date was "satisfactory" from a bruised muscle in his left thigh. The coach then continued discussing Messi, "We are optimistic, but it's risky to play him again three days later with the league just under way. I think Messi is fine and I'm not worried about what has happened or what's being said. He prepared well during the summer holidays. What happened the other day was a coincidence."
