Leo Messi will attend training this morning and everyone will be keen to see whether or not the superstar is ready for the upcoming matches - including extra Clasicos
More than usual, the centre of attention at FC Barcelona today will be on Lionel Messi. The first team will take part in a training session this morning and ever since he picked up a knock against Valencia, fans have been concerned whether or not their star will be ready for the upcoming fixtures.
Messi tried to calm those fears on social media and the club too has claimed the injury is minor and is largely nothing to worry about. However today might be the truest indication of whether the superstar will be ready for the match against Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey.
Ernesto Valverde will need to make two plans as Messi undergoes further tests. If he's fit and ready, will he be risked in the first leg or saved for the return match? Now would be a disasterous time to lose your best player.
