BARCELONA, Spain -- Something is not right with Lionel Messi, according to Barcelona coach Gerardo Martino, after the Argentina forward appeared to vomit during an international friendly. The 26-year-old Messi doubled over during Argentinas 0-0 draw against Romania on Wednesday. Martino thought Messi had the flu before a 3-1 loss to Real Sociedad nearly two weeks ago. But the Argentine coach has changed his thinking since. "This is something hes had for quite some time. Im not a specialist and so far we havent figured out what is causing this, but this doesnt affect his play," Martino said on Friday. "But something is not right." Martino told a news conference that Messi had seen a specialist, which proved inconclusive. Despite this, Messi was included in the squad for Saturdays match at Valladolid. Midfielder Andres Iniesta will not play at the Jose Zorrilla Stadium after being left out for personal reasons. Jordi Alba will also be missing as Martino does not want to "overwork" the Spain fullback going into Wednesdays Champions League home match against Manchester City. Center back Gerard Pique returns from injury against Valladolid. Defender Carles Puyol was also left out of the team after having announced his intention to leave his boyhood club at the end of the season. Martino suggested Barcelonas current squad was not deep enough to fill Puyols void next season, and it will need to tap the summer transfer market to find a centre back. "What I cant imagine is (Barcelona) signing a third or fourth-rate player. Barca doesnt sign such players," Martino said. "(Puyol) is the kind of player a club very rarely comes across. Footballers like these are irreplaceable." Barcelona trails Spanish league leader Real Madrid by one point in the standings.

NEW YORK -- The pitching-poor Texas Rangers plan to add right-hander Jerome Williams and will start him Friday night against AL West-leading Oakland. The Rangers announced after Thursdays 4-2 loss to the New York Yankees that they would purchase Williams contract from Triple-A Round Rock. The 32-year-old Williams was released by Houston earlier this month after going 1-4 with a 6.04 ERA in 26 relief appearances. He signed with Texas and went 0-1 with a 6.10 ERA in two starts at Triple-A. Williams is 43-51 with a 4..dddddddddddd.45 ERA in nine seasons with San Francisco, the Cubs, Washington, the Angels and Astros. Texas has a 4.84 ERA, the highest in the AL and almost a half-run over anyone else in the league. The Rangers have the worst record in the majors, and set a big league record by using 30 pitchers before the All-Star break. Theyve already tied a team mark for most pitchers in a season, and they added another newcomer to the roster before Thursdays game by promoting reliever Nate Adcock from Triple-A. ' ' '
