Barcelona Coach Says Something is Wrong with Messi

Barcelona coach Gerardo Martino said "something is not right" with Lionel Messi after the Argentina forward vomited during an international friendly.

The 26-year-old Messi doubled-over and appeared to be sick during Argentina's 0-0 draw against Romania on Wednesday.

Martino thought Messi had the flu before a 3-1 loss to Real Sociedad nearly two weeks ago.

But Martino stated it appears that "this is something he's had for quite some time. I'm not a specialist ... but something is not right, even if it doesn't affect his way of working."

Martino added Messi has gone to see a specialist, but that proved inconclusive.
