Messi back in the gym

Lionel Messi worked out in the gym as his Barcelona team-mates trained this morning, and the Argentinian could yet be fit for Sunday’s match against Real Betis despite being carried off in last night’s Champions League clash with Benfica.

Messi gave Barca a major injury scare in last night’s goalless draw, colliding with Benfica goalkeeper Artur Moraes and then falling awkwardly in the 84th minute.
