Messi has been given the all clear by the doctors and the Argentine is in Barcelona's squad for the game against Getafe tomorrow in the Copa, having fully recovered from a torn hamstring.
It’s been 58 days since he was injured in the Benito VillamarÃn in the 1-4 win over Betis, but having undergone a recovery process both in Spain and in his native Argentina, the star striker is ready to play a competitive match again.
Gerardo Martino has called 18 players into the squad for the match against Getafe. In addition to the news of Messi’s return, the other interesting detail is that Sergio Busquets returns to the side having missed the Elche match suspended. Coach Tata has decided that Xavi Hernández, Marc Bartra and Dani Alves will all sit this game out.
