The Argentinian believes that a positive attitude will go a long way in his road to recovery, with the striker hoping that he will be fully fit for Barcelona’s crunch match against Real Madrid on 21st November.
The player, who has been working intensively with the club’s physiotherapist, has spent the last four weeks recovering with the specialist.
Right now, Messi’s main objective is to be able to run again without any problems, and the club believe that this could happen within the next week.
However, like with everything, the club are keen not to force his recovery. It’s a key phrase that has been floated around, due to the workload that Messi will have to endure over the coming weeks. It’s clear that the striker isn’t looking to slow down, and hopes to be present to face Real Madrid.
Luis Enrique nor anyone at the club are going overboard however, and will make sure to take things at a manageable pace. Rushing Messi’s recovery for the sake of three points would be a huge, unnecessary risk.
But according to Spanish media, FC Barcelona are very optimistic and believe that the Argentinian will be ready for the encounter.
