Report: Barcelona boss Luis Enrique fighting for job after Lionel Messi spat

Barcelona boss Luis Enrique is allegedly fighting for his job after a spat with Lionel Messi last week.

Barcelona boss Luis Enrique is fighting for his job after his side's defeat to Real Sociedad and a spat with Lionel Messi, according to reports.

Enrique has come under pressure after he dropped star player Messi, Neymar and Dani Alves for the game, as they trained less than the rest of the squad after Enrique allowed them to take a holiday,

Spanish football journalist Graham Hunter told Sky Sports News: "On Friday there was a row on the training ground between Neymar and [Luis] Suarez and also a row between Messi and Enrique. Fine. That happens a lot. But then he doesn't start Messi and the game is atrocious. Then suddenly Messi has got gastroenteritis and doesn't train. Now that's really handy isn't it?

"Messi is in the middle of a power-play and Enrique's post is in jeopardy, for a number of reasons."

Barcelona next host Elche on Thursday in the Copa del Rey.
