A Barcelona statement read: "The club's medical services confirmed that Leo Messi has a torn hamstring muscle in his left thigh and is expected to miss the next six to eight weeks.
"The first phase of Messi's recovery will be covered in Barcelona and he will then travel to Buenos Aires."
The injury will mean the World Player of the Year will miss Argentina's friendlies against Ecuador and Bosnia & Herzegovina in November as well as a number of domestic matches.
"He needs to take as much time as he needs, to recover and get back to his level. We need him at his best," Barcelona midfielder Cesc Fabregas told Spanish television. - Coach Dan
