Messi goes Android: Barcelona star uses robot for recovery


Lionel Messi is doing everything possible to hit top form before Barcelona face Real Madrid in El Clasico on November 22.
And now the 28-year-old Argentina forward, who had netted six goals in 10 matches for Barcelona before sustaining a knee injury against Las Palmas at the end of September, has gone android in his recovery process.
Messi revealed on Thursday that he has been training with an electrical device called ‘Game Ready’ to help reduce the eight-week duration he was scheduled to spend on the sidelines.
The four-time Ballon d’Or winner uploaded an image of the robot wrapped up, acting as a form of compression on his left knee, while sat looking in a relaxed mood on a sofa. 
He accompanied the picture with the caption: “Step by step, I am working on recovering to come back stronger. I’d also like to send a big hug and a lot of support to my Argentina team-mates.”
Scientifically, Game Ready speeds up the process of recovering from muscle, tendon and ligament injuries as the device circulates water around the injured body part.
