Barcelona captain Lionel Messi has returned to training after recently suffering a broken arm in a LaLiga match.
The Argentina international sustained the injury in the first half of the 4-2 win over Sevilla earlier this month, ruling him out of El Clasico.
Of course, Ernesto Valverde’s side ran out 5-1 winners in an astonishing game at Camp Nou, though his manager insisted afterwards that they still missed Messi.
Messi is now back in training with the first-team, though he still has some mobility issues, and is thus unlikely to feature in the Copa del Rey clash with Cultural Leonesa.
Barca play Rayo Vallecano this weekend, before taking on Inter Milan in a Champions League tie that could determine the winner of Group B.
Messi has been in superb form thus far this season, scoring 12 goals in 12 games in all competitions, and providing six assists.
