Hurray! Messi returns to Barcelona training after ten-day recovery!

Barcelona have confirmed that Lionel Messi has returned to training after just ten days of recovery.

Lionel Messi missed El Clasico against Real Madrid & both Champions League clashes between Barcelona and Inter after fracturing his right arm during Sevilla clash ten days ago. 

He was set to miss out for approximately three weeks but now returns after just ten days.

The Argentina international sustained the injury in the 4-2 win over Sevilla earlier this month, ruling him out of El Clasico.

Of course, Ernesto Valverde's side ran out 5-1 winners in an astonishing game at Camp Nou, though his manager insisted afterwards that they still missed Messi.

"For us, since last week when he got injured, we were probably thinking how we would respond on the pitch," he told a news conference.

"There's only one answer, you have to respond as a team and that's what we've done. The result could've been different but that's the only answer we can give you.

"We're delighted for the team but obviously the sooner he's back the better for us because we miss him. We want him back tomorrow."
