Messi poised for comeback
Posted Sunday, February 14, 2016 by Marca.com
Barcelona were at full strength - with the exception of Rafinha Alcantara, who is still recovering from a knee injury - for their final training session ahead of their La Liga clash with Celta.
Although the Brazilian did complete part of the session at the club's Sant Joan Despí training ground, he is still unavailable for Barca boss Luis Enrique.
Meanwhile, Leo Messi is expected to be named in the squad after he again trained normally after undergoing minor surgery for kidney stones on Tuesday. In fact, at his press conference, Luis Enrique said that the Argentine was in "perfect shape".
Barring any last-minute developments, Gerard Piqué, Javier Mascherano, Andres Iniesta, Luis Suárez, Claudio Bravo, Jordi Alba, Dani Alves, Sergio Busquets, Arda Turan and Neymar da Silva will all return to the squad after sitting out Wednesday's Spanish Cup formality against Valencia.
Whatever happens, Luis Enrique will, as usual, announce his team on Sunday.
