BARCELONA, Spain -- Lionel Messi will miss Barcelonas Spanish league game at Malaga on Sunday while he recovers from a muscle injury in his left leg. Barcelona said on Saturday that even though Messis "progress is satisfactory," coach Gerard Martino left the Argentina forward out of his squad as a "precaution." "We are optimistic, but its risky to play him again three days later with the league just under way," said Martino. "I think Messi is fine and Im not worried about what has happened or whats being said. He prepared well during the summer holidays. What happened the other day was a coincidence." Messi bruised a muscle in his left thigh during the first half of Wednesdays 1-1 draw at Atletico Madrid in the first leg of the Spanish Super Cup. With Messi substituted at halftime, new signing Neymar went on and scored the equalizer for his first goal with his new club. The return leg is set for this Wednesday at Camp Nou. Martino said that Messis absence Sunday doesnt guarantee that Neymar will get his first start for Barcelona. Neymar has been recovering from a case of anemia which the Brazil striker developed after having surgery on his tonsils this summer. "Neymar is getting better each day. He has more training sessions under his belt and knows the squad and club better," said Martino. "We have to ease him forward little by little so that everything goes well. Just because Messi isnt there doesnt mean that Neymar will take the helm. We have many good players to challenge Neymar for a spot in the starting 11. He can play in any game, but nothing has changed because he scored against Atletico." Martino also chimed in on rival Real Madrids reported bid for Tottenham winger Gareth Bale, which could surpass its record deal for Cristiano Ronaldo of "He looks like a good player," said Martino, while adding: "The price is a lack of respect considering how the world is right now." In June, Barcelona paid Santos (euro)57 million ($74 million) to acquire the 21-year-old Neymar. Martino, who guided Newells Old Boys to the Argentine league title last season, took over Barcelona last month after former coach Tito Vilanova stepped down to fight a recurrent throat tumour. ú80 million ($131 million) in 2009. Spanish media reports place Madrids offer for Bale between ú77-85 million. <a href="http://www.authenticsenatorspro.com/Tom-pyatt-senators-jersey/">Tom Pyatt Jersey</a>.com) - A chant of Zeke reverberated around AT&T Stadium before Ezekiel Elliott powered into the end zone for his fourth and final touchdown. <a href="http://www.authenticsenatorspro.com/Jeangabriel-pageau-senators-jersey/">Jean-Gabriel Pageau Jersey</a>.com) - Delon Wright made all 12 of his free throws and finished with 21 points and six assists as No. http://www.authenticsenatorspro.com/. - The New Orleans Saints have re-signed receiver Joseph Morgan for one year and have agreed to a four-year deal with free agent fullback Erik Lorig. <a href="http://www.authenticsenatorspro.com/Mike-condon-senators-jersey/">Mike Condon Jersey</a>.

Relax. The games dont really count yet. Weeden struggled and Clevelands first-team offence sputtered during Saturday nights exhibition loss to Indianapolis. Following positive performances in the Browns first two preseason games, Weedens bumpy outing brought out some here-we-go-again comments by his critics and renewed anxiety among Cleveland fans with the Sept. 8 season opener against Miami quickly approaching. Weeden, though, isnt uneasy. "I dont think there is any reason to push the panic button like a lot of people want to," Weeden said Monday before practice. "But weve got to learn from it and weve got to get better. Weve got to take the things that we didnt do very well and correct them and get better come Thursday (at Chicago) and moving forward when we play Miami." Clevelands offence didnt click against the Colts in a 27-6 loss. After completing his first six passes, Weeden, who was so impressive in the Browns first two exhibitions, was off the mark on some easy throws and forced a couple passes that should have been intercepted. The Browns didnt score on their first seven possessions, and coach Rob Chudzinski left his starters in for an extra series in the third quarter just so they could get a feel-good field goal. There were dropped passes, two critical penalties, a fumble by wide receiver Greg Little and Weeden was often under pressure as Clevelands offensive line had a tough time with Indys quickness. It didnt look good, but Weeden said it wasnt all bad and the Browns can learn from their mistakes. "There were some things we missed, thats going to be like that every game," Weeden said. "We just couldnt get any momentum going. Its tough when you get in third-and-long situations, we made it tough on ourselves. Their defence played outstanding. Their coverage was great all night. Ive watched the tape four times and all four times their coverage was really, really good. "So, you gotta give credit where credit is due. They played well and weve got to play better." Indianapolis was a playoff team last season and is at a much higher level than St. Louis or Detroit, Clevelands first two preseason opponents. The Colts may have brought the Browns back to earth, undressing them in the "dress rehearsal" for the regular season. To Weeden, thats not a bad thing. "Sometimes you need that," he said. "You need a little slap in the face to say Listen, youve got to keep continuing to grind. Its human nature to get a little ahead of yourself, but what better timing? It doesnt count in the wwin-loss record for the regular season.dddddddddddd We can correct all the mistakes we made, so we knew it was not going to be perfect all the time. "Its just impossible to play 20 games throughout the regular season, perfect games. Its just not going to happen. Wed been pretty good the first two games. Now its just how do we deal with that adversity? How do we move on? Itll be a big step for us." Weeden said Clevelands simplistic game plan may have contributed to the Browns not moving the chains. And as for his "panic button" comment, Weeden said that if there is any negativity, its coming from outside Clevelands facility. "The attitude in here has been great, so its not in this room," he said. "Were excited. We saw the mistakes, but they are all fixable. That one is behind us and now were looking forward to Chicago and thats going to be here before we know it." On Sunday, Chudzinski said its possible Clevelands starters could play a few series this week against the Bears. Most NFL coaches resist putting their first-teamers on the field in the final preseason game to avoid any unnecessary injuries. But Chudzinski is more concerned that if his starters sit this week, there will be a 14-day gap between live action. "Thats a decent amount of time without playing a game," Chudzinski said. "Thats something that weighs into it." Other factors hell consider will be Clevelands choppy game in Indy as well as an inexperienced team that needs to grow. The best way to promote that is to play. Weeden would welcome a chance to work out any kinks on the field against the Bears. "If thats what he wants to do, absolutely," Weeden said. "Im a creature of habit and I like to prepare and I like to not take a ton of time off and skip anything that I normally do. I like as many reps as I can get. I feel good where I am; I feel comfortable within the offence and as far as the preparation leading up to it. "I feel good, but I wouldnt mind playing a few series if thats the direction he wants to go." ---- NOTES: Rookie LB Barkevious Mingo watched practice as he continues to recover from a bruised lung.
