Lionel Messi has not been named in Barcelona's squad for their pre-season tour of the United States.
The 31-year-old has been given extra time to recover from the 2018 World Cup, even though Argentina were knocked out on June 30.
Messi made 54 appearances for Barca during the 2017-18 season as well as a further 11 appearances for the Albiceleste.
Barca travel to the States on Tuesday for the International Champions Cup, with the La Liga champions facing Tottenham Hotspur, Roma and AC Milan over the next 10 days.
