Sant Joan Despí (Spain), Apr 18 (EFE).- Barcelona striker Lionel Messi, who has been hampered by a hamstring injury since April 2, exercised on Thursday on the field of the Ciudad Deportiva Joan Gamper sports complex, while the rest of the team prepared for a weekend Liga match against Levante.
The Catalan club said their 'crack' Argentine had begun "fitness work" on the field of the club's venue for first-team training sessions, but added that it was still too early to confirm if Messi would be ready to start Barcelona's Champions League semi-final first leg at Bayern Munich next Tuesday.
