- Dembélé. Immaturity, injuries and Neymar in the background
- Injury: Concern for Luis Suarez
Ernesto Valverde on Wednesday received the news he most expected: Leo Messi has returned to train with his teammates, after recovering from a sole injury in the right leg, and points to next Sunday's game against Betis at Camp Nou ( 9.00 p.m.)
Barcelona posted a photograph of the Argentine on social networks announcing that he has been integrated into routine work with his colleagues, after his recovery process was done alone and there were only images that were distributed through the channel 'Other ', where various athletes from around the world promote their lives.
The coach has given his players a rest for Thursday and they are scheduled for training on Friday (9:30 am). Messi's reappearance could be associated on Saturday night with the player's discharge and the subsequent entry in the call for the match against Betis.
No preseason
Messi has not played a minute this preseason and has barely trained with his teammates, since the injury occurred on August 5, just arriving on vacation and before the club began a tour of the United States . The Argentine stayed in Barcelona to start the recovery alone.
The presence of Messi in the Valverde team, always very important, is presented as vital at the moment, given the casualties in the culé offensive, with two notable absences due to injury: Luis Suárez and Ousmane Dembéle .
