Messi trains ahead of Bilbao match

Change of script ahead of the Spanish Super Cup final: Messi, barring any surprise, will be able to play. The Argentine missed the semi-final against Real Sociedad because he had physical problems, but returned to training the day before the match with Athletic that will decide the winner of the tournament.

The player was present on the La Cartuja pitch alongside the rest of his teammates. He could be seen touching the ball, making continuous runs and undertaking the same drills as the rest of the team. The feeling is that he can be on the pitch against Athletic Bilbao.

Their manager, Ronald Koeman, confirmed in the press conference that the player will have the final word. In this way, if he feels good, which is what it seems, he could start the match. He will be tested for discomfort and will make a decision.

It was the best news for the fans because of the knowledge that Messi could play in the final. Also, as the Real Federación Española de Fútbol broadcast the training live, any fan could see how Messi moved.
