Lionel Messi is finally back training with the group after an injury he sustained in the first training session of preseason. He had previously returned to training alone and missed Barcelona’s opener against Athletic Club Bilbao.
He was training alone this morning but rejoined the group in the afternoon. It’s been 16 days since his calf muscle injury, but it seems the player could be ready to be a part of the next match in La Liga.
It remains to be seen how he does in the next few days of training, which will dictate how much he can play, if at all.
