The Argentine Lionel Messi, one of the great stars of Barcelona, returned to play in the Spanish League after more than a month away from the competition and was the New Colombino stadium, in Huelva, the scene of his reappearance.

Messi began in the dock of the match against the alternate Recreation, for the thirty-second time, but jumped into the field of play at 64 minutes, replacing Mexican Giovani, when the team he coaches Frank Rijkaard expired by 1-2.

Argentine striker disputaba not an encounter garter belts since March 1, before the Atletico Madrid. Four days later, before the Celtic of Glasgow, suffered a muscle injury that has been almost forty days away from the playgrounds.

The main objective is to Messi ready for the match round of the semifinals of the Champions League that Barcelona will play against Manchester United at the Camp Nou, the next April 23.

Sufrío a blow to Celtic that caused a rupture of the femoral biceps

The barcelonista Leo Messi withdrew from Camp Nou in tears after suffering a new muscle injury, a fracture in the femoral biceps of his left leg, the same injury that kept him a month and a half low between December and January.

On one wall with Italian Gianluca Zambrotta, in the 33 minutes of the encounter with the Glasgow Celtic, Messi was braking in dry, it threw their hands to the head, was removed with rabies tape hair and fell between sobs on the lawn , where he was consoled by his colleagues.

According confirmed the Catalan clubs medical services, is the same injury he suffered in Mestalla, but was unaware of millimetres of breaking the same, which will determine the weeks will be low.

In Valencia, Leo Messi also suffered a fracture of the femoral biceps. He floor of December 5 to January 19. The lesion occurs, strangely, after the Argentinian was booked at the last home game in garter belts Calderon, a circumstance for which he was criticized technician Frank Rijkaard.

The technical director of Barça, Txiki Begiristain, called the injury "disgrace". He explained that he will have to make further tests to confirm the period of low and confirmed that was set aside in the last match because there was some risk that it might hurt.

You can play a game perfectly a week, therefore rested in Madrid. Hopefully that is not much, to recover as quickly as possible

Messi was the real hero in Glasgow. The Argentine was the author of two of the three goals that made him Barcelona to Celtic (2-3)

The Barça play of the fourth Champions inter alia because it showed in Glasgow that is infinitely better than the rugged and willing Celtic. Also because won with a remarkable collective action (2-3), two of many Messi, and top scorer of the competition and the best Ronaldinho minutes too long.

Despite the authority visitor, there were a couple of scares, two blizzards that made Scottish shake the foundations of Celtic Park and the ever-voluble personality azulgrana. Two cabezazos after centres from the left that led to book[+]

There will be revolution in Celtic Park if Rijkaard gives continuity to the tactic that tested yesterday behind closed doors.

Frank Rijkaard used yesterdays training behind closed doors to rehearse tactics without Leo Messi as the holder for the party tomorrow at Celtic Park. The body of technical Barcelona is assessing the possibility of submitting an alignment in Glasgow with more troops in the center of the field and ensure that the possession of the ball bearing in mind that always subtracted 90 minutes per play at the Camp Nou.

The alternative cover for the possible absence of Messi would be among the return to the team Iniesta, who was an alternate and did not dispute any time in the match last Saturday in Zaragoza or dotrar much more muscle to the team and give input to Eidur Gudjohnsen , as a surprise. Significantly, when Barcelona visited Glasgow last November to face the Rangers, and was the Icelandic player was used as a tool to compensate for the thrust of the British.

Messi, neither has been very lucid in recent matches of the Barcelona as a visitor and there has been some depletion of the Argentine, who since returning from his injury has not had an opportunity to make a gradual integration team. Proof of this is that it has been replaced in the final leg of the last meetings of Barcelona.

Therefore, if the tests conducted behind closed doors yesterday were satisfactory, Barcelona could appear at Celtic Park with a pattern more similar to 4-4-2 to 4-3-3 that when the front would be formed by Thierry Henry and Samuel Etoo, who thus returns to the team owner after his participation in the African Cup of Nations.

For the first time in a long time, Frank Rijkaard go to a meeting with the vast majority of their troops available, which increases the possible alignments. The fact that the meeting tomorrow will be the first act of an eliminatory scheduled to return merely increase the uncertainty concerning the possible team that could present the technician Dutch.

It seems certain that the defense, how well is carburando, is not going to vary. Valdes is untouchable as a goalkeeper in front of you will be aligned Puyol, Milito, Marquez and Abidal. A solid defence that can cope with the ordeal he intends to submit to the Celtic blaugrana through the air balls.

In this aspect of the game will be fundamental physical Yaya Toure in the centre of the field. When African fichó him to the stature in Europe and put Barcelona in the physical level of the great European teams.

The accompanying Yaya Toure depend largely on whether the evidence yesterday of a Barça without Leo Messi proved entirely satisfactory.

The substitution of Iniesta in La Romareda may suggest that Rijkaard thought in reserve to come to Scotland rested. If Rijkaard finally chooses to align four centrocampistas Deco and Xavi seems that they have more numbers, unless Guddy return to the team owner, rather than Deco.
