Leo Messi has returned to the squad after being rested against Deportivo while Gabri, Maxi and Ezquerro fall from the list.




Messi, one of the stars of the Stamford Bridge match, is back in the squad for Tuesday's decisive game after being rested by Frank Rijkaard for last Saturday's game against Depor. The rest of the squad is as expected with the good news that Márquez is fully fit.


The return of the young Argentine striker means that the attacking threesome made of Ronaldinho-Eto'o-Messi, which gave the Blues defence a nightmare time in the first leg, will be available again tonight at Camp Nou.


Of the 21 players currently available to Frank Rijkaard, three - Gabri, Maxi and Ezquerro - have fallen from the list, the first through injury and the other two by decision of Barça manager.
