Ronald Araujo did train but the absence of Messi will raise questions

Lionel Messi set alarm bells ringing at Barcelona on Wednesday ahead of the Super Cup semifinal against Real Sociedad. 

Messi, 33, didn't board the best with the rest of his teammates in Cordoba for the morning's training session. 

Ronald Araujo did not travel with the squad for the session, either, although he did train in the end.

The Uruguay defender missed the Granada win at the weekend with a thigh injury. 

Both Messi and Araujo trained in Cordoba on Tuesday night and coach Ronald Koeman said he expected both to be available.
