The Argentine was at the training ground even though he wasn't expected to come in

Leo Messi is between cotton wool ahead of Friday's clash with Bayern Munich. The Argentine is motivated to win the competition after a five year gap, and he suffered a blow on his foot against Napoli in the last 16 second leg.

Koulibaly clashed with him in the box and Luis Suarez smashed in the penalty, as Messi went on to complete the 90 minutes. He came in on Monday to work on his foot to make sure he's in good condition for the Bayern game.

Leo was in the training ground for an hour and a half. The squad are due back in on Tuesday at 9.30 am, while on Thursday they will head to Lisbon, staying in the Hotel Sheraton.
