Lionel Messi may miss Barcelona's Spanish league match against
Zaragoza on Sunday because he is suffering from toothache.
Coach Pep Guardiola says Messi doesn't feel well due to
swollen gums but that he'll "travel with us and we'll see how he
is."
Messi has scored eight of the European champions' last 10
goals to take his total to 31 for the season.
Guardiola says the team is not dependent on the FIFA player
of the year who "knows that all alone he can't do it all."
Defending champion Barcelona is tied with Real Madrid at the
top of the league standings. Madrid plays Sporting Gijon on
Saturday.
