Most worrying situation for Barcelona coaches and fans caused by Lionel Messi is gradually becoming clearer.
On Thursday, the leader of the Catalan club arrived in Barcelona together with Javier Mascherano from the USA and immediately hurried to the team's training base to recover.
It is believed that L. Messi will be ready to take the field in the upcoming La Liga match against Celta Vigo this weekend.
It was reported that the forward suffered a right leg injury before his departure to the Argentine national team camp, but doctors did not detect any serious health problems.
However, the Argentine did not play a single minute in both friendly matches of the national team against El Salvador and Ecuador. It was later clarified that Messi had a swollen ankle, so the head coach of the Argentine national team, Gerardo Martino, decided not to let L. Messi take the field.
Some information about the footballer's health condition was even maintained as an April Fool's joke, but ultimately Messi himself confirmed that he missed both national team matches due to swollen ankle.
"Now it still hurts a bit, but everything is getting better. I hope I can play and help the Argentine national team and Barca," the forward wrote on his Facebook account.
