Lionel Messi beats the calendar with quick injury recovery
The Barca forward, if he plays against Inter, will be back six days ahead of schedule
Lionel Messi is part of Ernesto Valverde’s squad list to travel to Italy to face Inter Milan. The coach is taking 22 players on the trip, with Messi back in training after breaking a bone in his arm against Sevilla on October 20.
The No 10 doesn’t have medical clearance to play and that means he won’t necessarily be a part of the squad to face Inter.
Barca will wait until the last minute to decide if Messi will be part of the 18 man match day squad.
If he makes it, he will have beaten the calendar. The forward should have been out for three weeks, which is November 11. So playing against Inter would mean he is back six days in advance of time, great news for Barca.
