It's good news, actually
Lionel Messi has been suffering for a while with some kidney stones. Now he's getting rid of them, and will have to miss a game in order to do so.
Barcelona's official website announced on Tuesday that the Argentine superstar has not trained with the squad in the last couple of days in order to deal with his kidney issues.
FC Barcelona striker Lionel Messi will undergo several tests on Monday and Tuesday to assess the evolution of the kidney problems he suffered last December. Messi will return to his normal duties with the first team on Wednesday.

Messi did not play in the semi-final of the Club World Cup last December after developing kidney stones in the morning of the match against Guangzhou Evergrande. He fought through it and has played for the last month dealing with the problem. But on Sunday's game against Levante, he seemed to be heavily affected by the issue, playing below his usual level.
According to Diario Sport's, Leo is actually undergoing a small procedure to fully clean his kidney and get rid of the issue permanently. While the club's press release says the player will return to training on Wednesday, he's likely to come back only on Thursday.
Therefore, it is almost certain that Messi will not play the second leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final against Valencia. Which was actually not necessary in the first place, since Messi bagged a hat-trick in last week's 7-0 destruction.
