By db-admin
DBasia.news – Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman revealed the right time for Lionel Messi to appear again. According to the coach, Messi will return to a training session after the match against Eibar, Wednesday (30/12).
Barcelona gave Lionel Messi an additional holiday. The player is at his residence to celebrate Christmas with his family.
Apparently, Los Cules have good reasons why they didn’t call Messi in the match against Eibar. Barca hope that Messi will be in a fit condition when he returns.
“The first team player, Lionel Messi, is completing his recovery due to an injury to his right ankle. He is expected to return after the match against Eibar,” wrote an official Barcelona statement.
This statement was confirmed by Ronald Koeman. The coach hopes that Messi will return soon after fighting Eibar.
“First, Messi has a slight injury to his ankle. That is the reason he has not trained and why he cannot appear in tomorrow’s match. That’s why we are giving him two additional days off,” said Koeman.
“Messi will be back after the match against Eibar. The doctor said that one week without training will make him fit after the match.”
If according to plan, Lionel Messi will return to lead Barcelona in the match against Huesca, Monday (4/1). Three days later, Barca will visit Athletic Bilbao headquarters.
