Lionel Messi in FC Barcelona Squad for Borussia Dortmund Tie

Sentinel Digital Desk

Madrid: Lionel Messi has been included in the FC Barcelona squad to travel to Germany for Tuesday night’s Champions League away match against Borussia Dortmund.

The news means Lionel Messi joins up with a Barcelona squad for the first time since last season’s Copa del Rey final against Valencia, and 46 days after suffering a calf injury in his first training session of pre-season.

The Argentinian was given the all-clear by Barcelona medical staff after completing Monday morning’s training session with the rest of his teammates, meaning he has been able to get through two consecutive sessions with no problems. IANS
