Argentine striker Leo Messi did not appear this Sunday, with the permission of the coach, Ronald Koeman, in the return of Barcelona’s training sessions after the four days of Christmas holidays.
As reported by FC Barcelona, Messi will return to Barça discipline after the match against Eibar, which will be played on Tuesday at the Camp Nou.
Thus, the Argentine will extend his vacation in Rosario and will not play again until January 3 against Huesca.
The other members of the squad returned to work at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper with the exception of the long-term injured Ansu Fati, Gerard Piqué and Sergi Roberto.
The great novelty of the call-up against Eibar is likely to be that of Ousmane Dembélé, who trained with the group normally.
Before training, all Barcelona players passed a PCR test as set out in the LaLiga protocol. EFE. (JL).
