| Lionel Messi |
Barcelona are concerned over the fitness of Lionel Messi ahead of Sunday’s season-opening Primera Division meeting with Levante.
The 26-year-old did some special
rehabilitation exercises in the gym at the Ciutat Esportiva training
complex on Wednesday with Barca physio Juanjo Brau, designed to help him
recover from his quadriceps injury.
The Argentina star had flown back from
Rome before his country’s 2-1 friendly victory over Italy and, in a
statement on their official website, Barca insisted they will not be
talking any risks in rushing Messi back for the Levante match this
weekend.
Also announced on Thursday, Barcelona
captain Carles Puyol has begun his recovery following knee surgery as he
took to the training pitch on Wednesday. The 35-year-old Barca veteran,
who underwent an operation to have a Baker’s cyst removed from his
right knee in June, was put through his paces at the Ciutat Esportiva,
working alongside club physio Juanjo Brau.
