Anticipation rises ahead of the much needed return of the magical one.
Lionel Messi has received an accelerated medical all clear three weeks ahead of time, after the medical guru at FC Barcelona, Dr. Pruna announced the skillful Argentine will be back in action in three weeks time. Messi has made remarkable recovery after he received a knock on his left knee in the 3-0 away win against Valencia on 15 December. The dribbler was sorely missed in the 0-1 loss Barca suffered against Real Madrid. Ahead of Messi's recovery, Frenchman Thierry Henry and midflieder Edmilson are also back in the first team, while Oleguer is expecting to receive his medical clearance to feature in the first team, having fully recovered from injury.
