Barcelona forward Lionel Messi has admitted that his recent injury has left him feeling 'sad and angry'.

The 26-year-old limped out of his side's 4-1 win over Real Betis in La Liga last weekend, with results revealing that he had suffered a torn hamstring.

As a result, the Argentine international is not expected to return to action until at least January as he continues his recovery in his home nation.

"I am sad because I did not expect to get an injury but I am also angry as it has come straight after another injury," he told Ole.

Messi has suffered a number of strains in the early part of the season.
