After setting up Barca team-mate Philippe Coutinho and scoring himself, five-time Ballon d'Or winner Messi landed heavily on his right arm before leaving the field in the first half at Camp Nou.

Barcelona dominated the first half as Messi set up Brazilian play maker Philippe Coutinho in the second minute. 10 minutes later, Messi scored his 7th goal the season and 12th in all competitions thanks to a brilliant pass by Luis Suarez.

Things were going well for the home team until Messi picked up an arm injury. He was replaced by Ousmane Dembele in the 26th minute.

Barcelona added a third via a penalty from Luis Suarez. Sarabia reduced the deficit to two before world cup finalist Ivan Rakitic added a fourth. Sevilla were not done with scoring yet as Luis Muriel scored in stoppage time.

Messi will miss three weeks with a fractured arm after suffering the injury in Barca's 4-2 win over Sevilla on Saturday.

Messi will sit out next weekend's Clasico against Real Madrid, as well as Barca's Champions League fixtures against Inter on Wednesday.
