BARCELONA (Reuters) - Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde says he does not know when Lionel Messi will return to action after another injury setback, as his side travel to Getafe on Saturday in La Liga seeking a first away win in eight matches in all competitions.

Barca's all-time top scorer has not managed to complete 90 minutes this season due to a series of injuries and had to be taken off at halftime during his side's 2-1 win at home to Villarreal on Tuesday with a thigh strain.
