Barca include Messi in Champions League squad

Lionel Messi has been included in Barcelona’s squad for their Champions League semi-final first leg against Bayern Munich, although he has yet to receive the medical all-clear to return to action.

The Argentina superstar has missed Barca’s last three Primera Division matches as the Catalan giants decided not to take any unnecessary risks with the hamstring problem Messi sustained in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final against Paris St Germain.
