LIONEL MESSI FANS

Lionel Messi, the superstar has been not in the game absent for nearly weeks, but now he has returned to the team for La Liga encounter which is going to happen this weekend. The start player is in the queue to make his comeback from a broken arm against Real Betis on Sunday. He is coming back after being named in the squad of Ernesto Valverde.

Messi suffered a fall during the game, which was really awkward and the fall happened when he collided with Franco Vazquez of Sevilla in the match that ended with the score of the 4-2 win on 20^th October and in the process, he fractured his arm ruling himself out from the game for three weeks. As an interim measure, he was named in the traveling team for the 1-1 draw of Tuesday at the Inter in the Champions League. However, he has not been given the all-clear certificate from the medical staff. Barca chose not to take in his name in the matchday selection, which is the final one.

However, on Saturday Barca announced he is back in argument to confront Betis at Camp Nou. On the other hand, Samuel Umtiti not featured after the 2-1 defeat on September 26 at Leganes is in the squad too after recovering from the knee injury he got. Ousmane Dembele might not be involved after the Frenchman missed the training session on Thursday without permission. Philippe Coutinho has been out of the team for almost a few weeks because of the muscle injury he has got.

Currently on the top of La Liga Barcelona is there, and this is because it has won seven matches, three has been a draw and he lost only one game in a total of 11 opening games they played.
