"Barcelona" attack leader - back in lineup. On Tuesday, the Catalan team doctors conducted a comprehensive health check on Lionel Messi for the last time and allowed the footballer to play at full strength. The Argentinian is included in Barcelona's squad for the first leg of the King's Cup quarterfinal against Madrid's "Getafe." This match will be played on Wednesday at the Camp Nou stadium in Barcelona. L. Messi suffered a serious calf injury in a Spanish championship match against Sevilla's "Real Betis" team on November 10 last year. Initially, it was thought that the player had not been seriously injured, but after additional tests, it was revealed that the leader of the Catalan team would be out of the lineup for at least two months. "Lionel returned to the club from Argentina on time, before New Year's. We have already played a match against "Elche," but he only participated in a few trainings. He needed some extra work. Now everything is fine, and he will be able to play at full strength again. I spoke with Lionel. He misses serious matches," said Barcelona's head coach Gerardo Martino at a press conference on Tuesday. However, the Catalan team's strategist noted that it is still unclear whether L. Messi will play the full 90 minutes on the field: "The player still lacks game experience after a long rehabilitation, but he will gradually regain it. This is not very important. The most important thing is that Lionel is healthy again."
