And this was an unexpected turn of events, Messi wil get some minutes in the second half. Barcelona didn't want to run any risks with Leo Messi, who suffered from a soleus injury in the right leg on the first day of training with the Barcelona team.
Since then, the Argentine star has been out of action, he has played zero minute in La Liga this season and a lot less in preseason. His first game of the season will be against Dortmund.
"A few days ago we weren't quite sure, but in the last few training sessions with the team he has trained very well and has taken care with his injury. We are going to see. We will have to see how he feels, he has to hope," said Valverde in the press conference.
According to 'Marca', Barcelona's plan is to give Messi a few minutes in the second part of the game at Signal Iduna Park.
