By AFP More by this AuthorMADRIDLionel Messi trained again with his teammates on Monday to give Barcelona a massive boost ahead of their La Liga return against Mallorca on Saturday. Messi has been suffering from tightness in his right thigh and had not trained fully since last Tuesday. Asked if Messi would be able to face Mallorca, Barca coach Quique Setien told Movistar on Sunday night: "Messi is not the only one that has not trained and felt some discomfort. "But the question is how ready he is after so long out and whether he is ready to start." Barcelona sit two points clear of Real Madrid at the top of La Liga, which will resume on Thursday with Sevilla against Real Betis after a three-month break due to the coronavirus pandemic.
