Borussia Monchengladbach and Barcelona will face each other on Wednesday for their Champions League match.
The Bundeliga club have sent the Argentine a get-well message and are sad they can't meet him.
"It's a shame we won't get to see Leo #Messi at BORUSSIA-PARK when FC Barcelona visit".

The Barca star answered: "Many thanks to Borussia Mönchengladbach for their message of support! A really nice gesture from the club. Of course I would also like to thank everyone who has sent me their best wishes. I now have to rest for a few days before coming back even stronger. Hugs to everyone.
