Lionel Messi is back. The Argentine attacker is in training for Barcelona after recovering from his adductor injury and is in line to play some part in the Catalans' Liga clash against Deportivo La Coruna on Saturday.
The 29-year-old traveled to his homeland last month to feature for Argentina against Uruguay, but returned ahead of the clash versus Venezuela because of pains in his left adductor. And then, in Barca's 1-1 draw at home to Atletico on September 21, he was withdrawn with an injury in the adductor on the opposite side - in his right thigh.

"Messi is a very explosive player whose game features quick bursts of pace," sports podiatrist Mirja Marco told Goal International.
