Lionel Messi pushing to recover for Huesca clash

The Argentine came in on a day off on Wednesday to work on his ankle

Leo Messi is not stopping. The Argentina international took some medical treatment on his ankle on Wednesday and is expected to reappear against Huesca on Jan 3.

Messi arrived back in Barcelona from Argentina early on Tuesday. Hours later he watched the team play badly at Camp Nou against Eibar.

Despite the result Ronald Koeman gave players two days off and they will return on January 1, two days before the Huesca game.

Messi is expected to return tomorrow morning too after coming to the training ground today to work on the ankle. He and his family will celebrate the end of 2020 and arrival of 2021 in Catalan territory.
