Messi back in Barca squad

2021 has begun and Barca are ready for their first match of the year. SD Huesca await them.

Koeman has chosen the men that will travel to El Alcoraz for the match. The main piece of news is the return of Leo Messi.

The number 10 is now fully recovered. He trained normally on Friday and leaves his ankle issues behind him.

Samuel Umtiti will not make the match. The player missed the session on Saturday due to an upset stomach, according to Barcelona on their social media.

This is the squad: Ter Stegen, Neto, Iñaki Peña; Dest, Lenglet, Araujo, Mingueza, Jordi Alba, Junior; De Jong, Busquets, Pjanic, Aleñá, Riqui Puig, Matheus, Pedri; Messi, Dembélé, Griezmann, Braithwaite, Trincao and Konrad.
