Lionel Messi is recovering well from injury but Luis Enrique will not put a date on his return for Barcelona.
Luis Enrique says Lionel Messi's recovery is proceeding as expected but offered no update on when the forward is expected to return to action.
It was hoped the Argentina captain, who has been sidelined with a knee injury since the end of September, will be fit to face Real Madrid on November 21.
Reports in Spain over the weekend suggested Messi has suffered a setback in his recovery and would miss the Clasico against Real Madrid, but Luis Enrique appears to be unconcerned over the progress of his star's rehabilitation.
