Barcelona aangat Eibar this Tuesday night in LaLiga Santander and Lionel Messi will not be involved, but the No.10 is now back in the city and may even be present to the Camp Nou to support his teammates.
After spending Christmas in Argentina last week, the forward is now returning to the Catalan capital with his wife Antonela, his children and other members of his family.
Due to a minor ankle injury, Messi was allowed a few extra rest days in Argentina.
He will rejoin his teammates later this week Barcelona had their first workout following the Eibar match, though Messi could before then on his own work.
Ronald Koeman is confident that Argentina will be available for Sunday’s match against Huesca.
