In a pleasant surprise for Barcelona fans, Lionel Messi travels with the team to Milan City to face Inter Milan, in the standings scheduled for Tuesday in the group stage of the Champions League.
Messi, who suffered an injury in the arm two weeks ago, will be among the 22 players on the list of the Catalan team for the European meeting, which will travel to Milan on Monday.
Although the striker is unlikely to take part in the game as he has not yet received the medical statement, his trip to Italy is a sign of his early recovery.
Messi and his team have been involved in the training for days, after his absence from the race after a broken arm.
Messi was expected to return to court in the last week of November, but recovered faster than previously announced by the club.
Barcelona are close to qualifying for the Round of 16, leading Group B with nine points from three matches, six points for Inter Milan and one point for Tottenham Hotspur and PSV Eindhoven.
