Lionel Messi joined the general Barcelona team training on Wednesday and began preparing for his first official season matches.

Due to a thigh injury, the Argentine could not help the team in the first La Liga season matches, in which they narrowly defeated Athletic Bilbao.

Furthermore, Luis Suarez and Ousmane Dembele also dropped out of the lineup due to injuries. Barca trained at the beginning of the week without their main attacking stars, but Messi's return brought more positivity.

Radio "Onda Cero" claims that Messi will be included in the lineup for Sunday's match against Real Betis, although he will most likely start on the bench.
