TEAM NEWS!! Lionel Messi Included In Barcelona Squad To Face Inter Milan Despite Fractured Arm

Lionel Messi is in Barcelona’s squad for

Tuesday’s Champions League match at Inter

Milan despite fracturing his arm two weeks ago.

The Argentine is a surprise inclusion though his

name is marked with an asterisk saying “the

player travels without the medical all-clear”.

He was initially ruled out for around three weeks

after suffering the injury during a 4-2 win over

Sevilla.

Messi has missed the 5-1 win over Real Madrid

and a 2-0 victory over Inter.

The forward returned to training last week but

was not expected to feature for Barcelona for at

least another week.

Coach Ernesto Valverde said on Friday he had

not ruled Messi out of playing but was

concerned about rushing him back.

Barcelona are currently top of Group B after

winning all of their games in the Champions

League, while opponents Inter sit in second –

their only defeat coming against the Spanish

side.
