Barcelona star Lionel Messi has reportedly cancelled plans
to travel to Turkey following a military coup d'etat in the country.
The Argentine was scheduled to fly in on Saturday ahead of a
charity football match organised by Samuel Eto'o in Antalya.
But as tanks and soldiers took the streets of Turkish
capital Ankara on Friday, Messi will not travel and will instead stay in Ibiza
with his family.
Barcelona confirmed in a short statement released on Twitter
that the No. 10 and Andres Iniesta are not in Turkey at the present time.
Former Blaugrana stats Eto'o, Carles Puyol, Deco and Eric
Abidal are in the crisis-hit nation, as is ex-director Alejandro Echevarria.
The club, however, clarified that all those scheduled to
take part in Eto'o's charity fixture were far from the worst-affected areas.
