A big blow for Barca 
From Fox Sports:
VALENCIA, Spain (AP) - FC Barcelona's Lionel Messi tore a thigh muscle on Saturday and will probably miss next weekend's classic derby against Real Madrid.
Messi injured his left thigh after making a run in the 42nd minute of the Catalan club's 3-0 win against Valencia in the Spanish league. The Argentina forward was substituted two minutes later.
"It looks like he could be out three to four weeks," Barcelona vice president Albert Vicens i Rahola told La Sexta television channel.
The 20-year-old Messi, who leads Barcelona with eight goals, tore a muscle in his thigh, the club said in a statement on its Web site. Messi scored a hat trick against Madrid in the last derby at Camp Nou - a 3-3 draw in March.
Barcelona has 34 points, one less than league leader Real Madrid. They meet at Camp Nou next Sunday for the "classico."
